A Deep Dive into Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct health care system that combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. It is based on the healing power of nature and it aims to stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself, which is an innate response. The practice of naturopathy is often considered holistic because it attempts to address the full range of physical, emotional, mental, environmental, and social influences that affect health.
Principles of Naturopathic Medicine
The practice of naturopathic medicine adheres to several key principles:
- The Healing Power of Nature: This principle, known as Vis Medicatrix Naturae, recognizes the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. Naturopathic practitioners work to support and enhance this natural process.
- First Do No Harm: Naturopaths follow three guidelines to avoid harming the patient: use methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects; avoid, when possible, the harmful suppression of symptoms; acknowledge and respect the individual’s healing process, using the least force necessary.
- Identify and Treat the Cause: Known as Tolle Causam, this principle involves identifying and removing the underlying causes of illness, rather than merely eliminating or suppressing symptoms.
- Doctor as Teacher: Docere, as this principle is known, emphasizes the role of the naturopathic practitioner as an educator and guide, empowering patients to take responsibility for their own health.
- Treat the Whole Person: This principle recognizes that health and disease are conditions of the whole organism, a complex interaction of physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, and social factors.
