Naturopathic Medicine, is a type of alternative medicine based on a belief in
vitalism, which posits that a special energy called vital energy or vital force
guides bodily processes such as metabolism, reproduction, growth, and
adaptation. Naturopathy favors a holistic approach with non-invasive treatment
by encouraging minimal use of surgery and drugs.
Naturopathy is guided by six foundational principles, including:
The healing power of nature
First do no harm
Find and treat the cause, not only the symptom
Always treat the whole person, not only their disease
Education
Prevention.
