ONE: The Healing Power of Nature This is an acknowledgement to the power of nature and its amazing ability to self-heal and maintain health. TWO: First, Do No Harm This entails utilizing effective natural therapies that minimize the risk of harmful side effects while aiding the body in self-healing. THREE: Identify and Treat the Cause Naturopaths aim to identify and remove the underlying causes of disease instead of merely suppressing the symptoms. FOUR: Treat the Whole Person Unlike the "disease" centered conventional doctors, Naturopaths recognize that every aspect of a person, whether it be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, needs to be taken into account in treating the whole person. FIVE: Doctor as Teacher Naturopaths are teachers at heart, educating, empowering, and motivating patients to become self-responsible for their health by incorporating a more healthy attitude, lifestyle, and diet. SIX: Prevention Naturopaths recognize that most chronic degenerative diseases are preventable. Thus, educating and encouraging a healthy lifestyle is the key to the prevention of disease and promotion of health.
