Naturopathic medicine is a distinct profession of primary health care physicians whose practitioners, while they make conventional disease diagnoses, are more oriented to prevention, education and promotion of optimal health and wellness rather than just treatment of disease. The following principles form the foundation of naturopathic medicine and are continually reexamined in light of current scientific advances.

First Do No Harm Preferred are the least invasive diagnostic procedures, treatments and medicinal substances with minimal risk of harmful side effects.
Prevention Physicians assess risk factors, make early interventions, and promote wellness by supporting patients to create healthy lifestyles.
The Healing Power of Nature Naturopathic medicine recognizes and encourages the inherent, ordered, and intelligent healing process in each individual.
Treatment of the whole person Physicians address the complex interactions of a patient's physical, emotional, mental, environmental, genetic, social and spiritual aspects.
Identification and treatment of the causes of disease Rather than merely eliminate symptoms, physicians identify and remove underlying causes of illness.
Doctor as Teacher The physician educates and develops patient self-responsibility, and the therapeutic potential of the doctor-patient relationship is valued and cultivated.

Naturopathic medicine integrates centuries-old knowledge of traditional, non-toxic therapies with the best of modern medical diagnostic science and standards of care. The scope of practice includes all aspects of family care, from natural childbirth to geriatrics.
