The healing power of nature The belief that the body has the innate ability to heal itself and it is the Practitioner’s role to facilitate this natural process. Identify and treat the cause The underlying root causes of disease must be removed for complete healing to take place. These root causes can exist at many levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It is the Practitioner’s role to identify this root cause so that health may be restored.
The process of healing includes the manifestations of symptoms, so that any therapy that interferes with this natural healing process by masking these symptoms is considered suppressive and should be avoided. The natural life force of the individual should be supported to facilitate healing. Every individual deserves a personalized healing plan. All of the complex factors affecting a person's health and illness should always be considered.
It is the role of the Practitioner to educate an individual, thus encouraging the individual to take responsibility for their own health. This cooperative relationship between “teacher” and “student” is essential to healing. The ultimate goal of the Naturopath is prevention. The Naturopathic emphasis is always on building and promoting health and well being and not on treating illness and disease. |
