Naturopathic medicine is based on six principles, and is deeply rooted in nature. Naturopathic medicine allows you, as the patient, to be heard and to be part of your health journey. An initial visit with an ND is often an hour long, and we delve into the history of all your health concerns. For now, lets keep it simple - below are the principles and what they mean to me!
First, do no harm
Treat with the healing power of nature
By using natural remedies we support the body's innate ability to heal itself
Identify and treat the root cause
I want to find the cause of your symptoms, not slap a bandaid over them. I will look beyond the symptoms and help find the cause of your symptoms.
Doctor as teacher
I will educate and support you along the way so you can achieve and maintain optimal health. I will help you understand the 'why' behind each treatment.
Treat the whole person
Mind, body, spirit - they are all connected. I will address all aspects of your health concerns, not just one.
