Naturopathic Medicine

The Principles of Naturopathic Medicine

• First, do no harm.
• Support the healing power of the body.
• Identify and treat the root causes of disease.
• Treat the whole person using individualized treatment.
• Teach disease prevention and health promotion.
• Doctor as teacher

Naturopathic doctors are highly educated health care providers who integrate standard medical diagnostics with preventative medicine and natural therapies. These therapies include: herbal medicine, homeopathy, diet, supplements, mind-body medicine, and lifestyle counseling.

A licensed naturopathic doctor has completed four years of pre-med studies, four years of graduate school at an accredited Naturopathic Medical University and has successfully passed North American-wide licensing exams(NPLEX).
