What is Naturopathic Medicine?

Naturopathic medicine is a health care system drawing from both modern and traditional therapeutic methods to prevent disease and recover optimal health by encouraging self-healing mechanisms inherent in the body.

A Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree (ND) covers conventional medical sciences as well as natural therapeutics. Naturopathic doctors combine natural remedies and the latest scientific research to diagnose and treat all medical conditions.

The naturopathic physicians at Integrative Family Wellness Center are dedicated to educating and helping patients take proactive steps to manage and improve their health before serious problems develop.

Principles of Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine has six fundamental principles defining the practice and profession:

The Healing Power of Nature

Your body has inherent wisdom and a natural healing process.

Identify & Treat the Causes

Look beyond symptoms to find and treat the underlying cause of illness.

First Do No Harm

Avoid treatments with harmful side effects and use the most natural, least toxic effective therapies.

Doctor as Teacher

Educate and empower patients to achieve and maintain optimal health.

Treat the Whole Person

Know and heal the patient as an integrated being with physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions.

Prevention

Focus on preventing disease and maintaining wellness through individual evaluation and proactive healthcare strategies.

Above all, naturopathic medicine studies and honors the body’s ability to heal itself and treats medical conditions by stimulating and supporting each patient’s innate healing capacity.
