Naturopathic Medicine is a system and philosophy of medicine based on
natural and holistic principles of treatment. The principles being;
first, do no harm, identify and treat the cause, the healing power of
nature, treat the whole person, doctor as teacher, and prevention as
the best cure. For the most part, only naturopathic doctors practice
naturopathic medicine because unless a doctor has attended an
accredited naturopathic school, they may not be versed and grounded in
the principles and philosophy of treatment. With treatment based in
these naturopathic principles, no matter what the health problem may
be, it will be helped by naturopathic treatment.
Naturopathic medicine goes far beyond conventional medicine.
Conventional medicine primarily uses drugs, surgery, and radiation.
Naturopathic medicine uses homeopathy, mind-body medicine, clinical
nutrition (supplements and special diets), herbal medicine, soft tissue
manipulation, BEST, hydrotherapy, and counseling in combination
tailored to each individual for their personal needs.
