Why Choose Naturopathic Medicine for Your Health?
Naturopathic Medicine achieves a deeper level of healing by emphasizing balance through the stimulation, enhancement, and support of the inherent healing capacity of the patient. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, it focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of illness. By combining modern diagnostic tools with natural therapies, naturopathic care supports the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—helping patients regain vitality, prevent future illness, and achieve sustainable, long-term health and well-being.
What are the Principles of Naturopathic Medicine?
1
AirbonFirst, Do No Harme:
Naturopathic Medicine uses therapies that are safe and effective.
2
The Healing Power of Nature
The human body possesses the inherent ability to restore health. The physician’s role is to facilitate this process with the aid of natural and nontoxic therapies.
3
Identify and Treat the Causes
Physicians seek and treat the underlying cause of a disease. They view symptoms as expressions of the body’s natural attempt to heal. The origin of the disease is removed or treated so the patient can recover.

4
Treat the Whole Person
Physicians consider the multiple factors in health and disease while treating the whole person. Physicians provide flexible treatment programs to meet individual health care needs.
5
Doctor as Teacher
The physician’s major role is to educate, empower, and motivate patients to take responsibility for their own health, because knowledge is true power. Creating a healthy, cooperative relationship with the patient has a strong therapeutic value.
6
Prevention is the Best “Cure”
Naturopathic physicians are preventive medicine specialists. Physicians assess patient risk factors and heredity susceptibility and intervene appropriately to reduce risk and prevent illness. Prevention of disease is best accomplished through education and a lifestyle that supports health.
7
Wellness
Naturopathic medicine’s ultimate goal is to establish and maintain optimum health and balance. Wellness is a state of health characterized by positive emotion, action, and thought.

Is Naturopathic Medicine Safe?
Yes, it is very safe. One of the primary goals of naturopathic medicine is “First Do No Harm.” The goal is to help you feel better without causing harm or uncomfortable side effects. This is especially true when it comes to the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs and the negative impact they can have on other areas of the body outside the area they intended to treat.
NDs are also trained to look at the body as a whole and analyze the effects of how one system or blockage can have far-reaching effects upon other systems or areas of health. They make sure all systems operate in harmony as a whole.

What Type of Training Does a Naturopathic Doctor Receive?
Naturopathic Doctors, like other medical doctors, first must complete their premedical undergraduate studies. After that, they complete a 4-year doctorate-level medical training from one of five recognized schools in North America.
Similar to the curriculum at a conventional medical school, the first two years of naturopathic medicine are focused on obtaining an in-depth understanding of the function and development of disease in the body.
Naturopathic students complete at least 1,200 hours in the teaching clinic, treating patients under the close supervision of a licensed naturopathic physician, as well as 300 hours observing naturopathic doctors in the community. Upon successful graduation from Naturopathic Medical College, they must pass the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Board Examinations (NPLEX) in order to qualify for licensing as a Naturopathic Doctor (ND). Upon completion of this education, naturopathic physicians are qualified to work as primary care physicians.
