Naturopathic Medicine

At the core of naturopathic medicine are six principles that guide its practice:

• First Do No Harm: Naturopathic medicine prioritizes the use of safe and effective therapies, with goal to minimize adverse effects.

• Identify and Treat the Causes: Naturopathic practitioners strive to uncover and address the root causes of health issues.

• Doctor as Teacher: Education plays a crucial role in naturopathic practice, empowering individuals to take an active role in their own health and well-being.

• Treat the Whole Person: Naturopathic medicine recognizes the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit, considering the individual as a whole when developing treatment plans.

• Prevention: Emphasizing proactive measures to maintain health and prevent disease, naturopathic medicine promotes lifestyle interventions and regular screenings.

• Comprehensive Approach: Naturopathic practitioners take a comprehensive approach to healthcare, considering various factors that contribute to overall well-being. This includes assessing nutrition, exercise habits, sleep quality, mental health, exposure history, and metabolic conditions.

While some aspects of naturopathic medicine may reference the "healing power of nature," Dr. S's practice focuses on evidence-based interventions and therapies.
