NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE
Naturopathic medicine is founded upon an age old principle, Vis Medicatrix Naturae or The Healing Power of Nature...
The term naturopathic medicine refers to a distinct system of primary health care that uses natural methods and substances to support and stimulate the body's inherent self healing processes.
Naturopath doctors take an extensive client history and perform a thorough physical examination using standard diagnostic instruments and laboratory tests. Additional information related to lifestyle, diet, emotions, stress, exercise, and exposure to environmental hazards may also be requested to establish a diagnosis.
A naturopath doctor views individuals as an integral whole where symptoms of disease are seen as warning signals of improper functioning of the body and unfavorable lifestyle habits. The primary goal of care is to treat the underlying cause of the disease.
Naturopath doctors can also complement and enhance health care services provided by other health professionals. They provide clients with a truly integrative form of health care.
The goal of naturopathic practice is to treat the underlying disorders and to restore normal body function by enhancing the body's own healing abilities.
Naturopath doctors do not use prescription drugs or surgery. They are extensively trained in the application of natural substances and conservative therapies to support and stimulate healing.
