Principles  

The healing power of nature – nature has the innate ability to heal.
 

Identify and treat the cause – there is always an underlying cause, be it physical or emotional.
 

Do no harm – a Naturopath will never use treatments that may create other conditions.
 

Treat the whole person – when preparing a treatment plan, all aspects of a person’s being are taken into consideration.
 

The Naturopath as a teacher – a Naturopath empowers the patient to take responsibility for his/her own health by teaching self-care.
 

Prevention is better than cure – a Naturopath may remove toxic substances and situations from a patient’s lifestyle to prevent the onset of further disease.
