Core Principles of Naturopathic Medicine That Guide Us

  1. The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae): Trust in the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself.
  2. Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle Causam): Look beyond symptoms to the underlying cause.
  3. First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere): Utilize the most natural, least invasive, and least toxic therapies.
  4. Doctor as Teacher (Docere): Educate patients in the steps to achieving and maintaining health.
  5. Treat the Whole Person: View the body as an integrated whole in all its physical and spiritual dimensions.
  6. Prevention: Focus on overall health, wellness, and disease prevention.
