Basic Tenets
Naturopathy
The basic tenets behind the practice of naturopathy. Taken directly from Word Diq
The healing power of nature
The healing power of nature, that the body has the ability to heal itself and it is the physician's role to facilitate this natural process.
Identify and treat the cause
The underlying root causes of disease must be removed for complete healing to take place. These root causes can exist at many levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It is the physician's role to identify this root cause, in addition to alleviate suffering by treating symptoms.
First do no harm
The process of healing includes the manifestations of symptoms, so that any therapy that interferes with this natural healing process, by masking these symptoms is considered suppressive and should be avoided. The natural life force of the individual should be supported to facilitate healing.
Treat the whole person
Every individual deserves a personalized healing plan, and all the complex factors affecting a person's health and illness should always be considered.
The physician as teacher
It is the role of the physician to educate an individual and encourage that individual to take responsibility for their own health. This cooperative relationship between doctor and patient is essential to healing.
Prevention
The ultimate goal of the naturopathic physician is prevention. The emphasis is on building health not fighting illness. This is done by fostering healthy lifestyles.
