Naturopathic medicine

“... therefore in medicine we ought to know the cause of sickness and health.”
— Ibn Sina

Naturopathic Medicine seeks to identify and treat the root causes of ill health and disease, rather than limit diagnosis and treatment to immediate symptoms. Naturopathic doctors pursue a holistic approach by taking account of the patient's overall well-being, including physical and emotional health, social and environmental factors, and genetics.

Naturopathic doctors offer individualized treatment,  meaning our approach to both diagnosis and care is tailored to your individual health history and concerns. We choose the approach that best fits you and your needs.

Naturopathic doctors treat patients using a combination of evidence-based medicine and traditional medical knowledge. Typical therapies used are herbal medicine, homeopathy, nutrition, Traditional Chinese Medicine and lifestyle counseling. 

As Naturopathic Doctors one of our main goals is to prevent illnesses from occurring. Part of disease prevention involves assessing genetic and environmental risk factors.

Sharing knowledge is key. Our role as Naturopathic Doctors is to motivate and educate our patients, so they can work towards making informed choices about their health and health care.

 

Fundamentals of Naturopathic Medicine:

The human body has an inherent ability to establish, maintain and restore health. Naturopathic Medicine seeks to facilitate this process by 1) discovering and treating the root cause of ailments 2) identifying and removing obstacles to the body’s inherent self-healing process and 3) supporting the creation of a healthy internal and external environment
