2.Treat the cause rather than suppressing the symptoms. Naturopathic physicians believe in correcting the underlying cause of an illness. Symptoms such as a fever or inflammation are the way the body heals itself. Do no harm by using safe, natural, non-invasive treatments such as herbs, nutrition and homeopathy. Treat the whole person.
Health is complex mix of physical, emotional, spiritual and social factors.
Prevention is the best cure. The job of the naturopath is to teach people how to keep themselves from getting sick by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Naturopaths are the general practitioners of natural medicine. They offer safe, natural remedies that can be applied to cases ranging from pediatric to geriatric. Since you're entrusting your health to an N.D., you should feel comfortable in their professionalism and training.
