The Philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine
Healing Foundations honours the following fundamental principles of naturopathic medicine:
The healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae)
Each person has the inner capacity to heal from illness and disease.
Identify and treat the causes (tolle causam)
Investigate and remove the underlying causes of a person’s disease rather than simply suppressing symptoms.
First do no harm
Use natural treatment methods that are safe and effective to support and augment the body’s ability to heal, while minimizing harmful side effects.
Doctor as teacher
Spend an adequate amount of time with every patient and explain the details of their illness in terms they can understand.
Treat the whole person
Account for the complex interaction of physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual and environmental factors that affect the health of patients.
Prevention
Offer encouragment and emphasize disease prevention.
Treatment Methods of Naturopathic Medicine
Healing Foundations uses the following naturopathic treatment methods:
Clinical Nutrition
This involves examining the relationship between diet and health. Healthy foods are used as medicine to alter the body’s internal biological terrain so disease no longer prospers.
Lifestyle Counseling
This includes discovering the relationship between lifestyle choices and health while providing guidance towards more effective means of maintaining a healthy way of life.
Herbal Medicine
Plant substances from Native American and Eastern traditions are used for their healing effects and nutritional value. They are exceptional in helping the immune system and re-balancing the hormone system.
Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy uses remedies made from minute quantities of plants or minerals, chosen according to each individual’s specific way of expressing symptoms. When used properly, these remedies have powerful healing effects, bringing balance to the physical, mental and emotional spheres.
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine balances the flow of chi (energy) and the yin and yang aspects of the body-mind relationship. Acupuncture affects the physical body and the mental and emotional realms, reducing anxiety, depression, pain, stress and fatigue, while increasing energy and strengthening the immune system, balancing moods, circulation and the nervous and hormonal systems.
