Principles of Naturopathic Medicine

Primum non nocere: First do no harm.

We choose the least toxic, non-invasive treatments necessary for each patient. With supplements, herbs and other treatments, we prescribe only what is required and safe for our patients.

Vis medicatrix naturae: The healing power of nature.

We recognize and honor the body’s inherent ability to heal itself when provided with favorable conditions

Tolle causam: Identify and treat the causes.

We address the causal factors of disease by using the necessary assessment tools to investigate all factors contributing to your symptoms of disease and to create a roadmap back to the root of the imbalance

Docere: Doctors as Teacher.

Educating and supporting patients on personal health management is a central role for NDs. We acknowledge the therapeutic value inherent in the doctor-patient relationship

Tolle totem: Treat the whole person.

We recognize the body as an inherent whole. Naturopathic Doctors treat the patient, not the disease. A naturopathic assessment addresses the nutritional status, family history, physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors in a person’s life to understand all aspects of health

Praevenic: Prevention:

Our focus is on overall health, wellness and disease prevention
