What is naturopathic medicine?
Naturopathic
medicine is a distinct system of primary health care – an art, science,
and practice
of preventing, diagnosing, and treating conditions of the human mind
and body.
Naturopathic
physicians work with their patients to prevent and treat acute and
chronic
illness and disease, restore health, and establish optimal fitness by
supporting the person’s inherent self-healing process, the vis
medicatrix
naturae. This is accomplished
through:
·
Prevention:
Prevention of disease is emphasized through
public health measures and hygiene as well as the encouragement and
guidance of
persons to adopt lifestyles which are conducive to optimal health.
·
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis and evaluation of the individual’s
state of health are accomplished by integrated modern and traditional,
clinical, and laboratory diagnostic methods.
·
Treatment
and Care: Therapeutic methods and substances are used which work in
harmony
with the person’s inherent self-healing process, the vis medicatrix
naturae,
including: dietetics and nutritional substances, botanical medicine,
psychotherapy, naturopathic physical medicine including naturopathic
manipulative therapy, minor surgery, and homeopathy.
