Naturopathic medicine is a system of healthcare that combines innovative diagnostics and testing with the use of natural therapeutics. Naturopathic Medicine has been around for centuries. It is based on 6 Naturopathic Principles: Primum Non Nocere, Vis Medicatrix Naturae, Tolle Causum, Tolle Totem, Docere, Prevenire. Primum Non Nocere: First Do No Harm.

Naturopathic Medicine uses medicinal substances that will cause the least amount of harm and suppression of symptoms. Naturopathic medicine looks to use holistic, non-invasive procedures to promote health.

Vis Medicatrix Naturae: The Healing Power of Nature. It is believed that each person has an innate ability to heal. Naturopathic Doctors work with the Vital Force or energy to promote healing.

Tolle Causum: Treat The Cause. Naturopathic Doctors work to treat the cause rather that solely addressing the symptoms. By treating the cause patients are able to heal and work with the body to do so.

Tolle Totum: Treat the Whole. Naturopathic Doctors take into account the whole body: mental, emotional and physical.

Docere: Doctor As Teacher. Education is a major part of health. NMDs work to educate their patients to enable them to make healthcare decisions.

Prevenire: Prevention. Prevention is the best cure!
