Naturopathic
medicine embraces the wisdom of generations of natural healers and
the latest discoveries in biochemical sciences. ND's receive extensive
training, including clinical training, in the use of natural and nontoxic
therapies and are increasingly acknowledged as leaders in bringing about
progressive changes in the established western medical model. To learn

In practice-
naturopathic physicians perform physical exams, lab testing, gynecological
exams, nutritional assessment, and other diagnostic tests. Naturopathic
medicine is effective and can be applied to most health problems, whether acute
or chronic. We base our patient care on a foundation of 5 principles:
- First do no harm
- Work in harmony
with the healing power of nature
- Address the fundamental
cause of the health condition
- Heal the whole
person through individualized consideration
- Teach the principles
of healthy living and preventative medicine
