Naturopathic Principles

First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere)
Natural health practitioners are encouraged to place the safety and welfare of their clients at the forefront of all therapeutic approaches. By focusing on non-invasive methods, they can guarantee outcomes that are both safe and effective. This commitment is crucial for building trust and facilitating positive health outcomes.

The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae)
Naturopaths recognize that the body possesses a natural capacity to sustain and recover its health. Through gentle and safe methods that align with the principles of nature, we support and stimulate the body’s innate systems to achieve balance (homeostasis) and enhance vitality.

Identify and Treat the Cause (Tolle Causam)
Each disease has a causal factor that typically arises as a result of the complex interplay between inadequate nutrition, unhealthy lifestyle choice, exposure to environmental toxins, chemicals, opportunistic pathogens and/or inherited genetic susceptibilities. Naturopaths look to identify the root cause of disease and treat using natural remedies rather than suppressing the symptom.

Practitioner as Teacher (Docere)
Naturopaths understand the significance of the therapeutic alliance in fostering healing. They play a crucial role in promoting transformation by offering support to become self-aware, educated and empowered to take control of their health through personal accountability. This process promotes personal growth, cultivates a sense of independence and enables individuals to make informed decisions that positively impact their overall quality of life.

Treat the Whole Person (Tolle Totum)
Recognising the individuality of each person is essential for conducting thorough assessment and providing effective naturopathic care. A comprehensive understanding of health requires exploration of the myriad of factors that contribute to a person’s wellbeing. Influences on mental, emotional, physical aspects of health, as well as dietary habits, genetic predispositions, and the societal and environmental contexts in which people live.

Prevention (Praevenic)
Naturopaths emphasize the importance of prevention by advocating for healthy lifestyle choices and altering detrimental patterns that impact health. This approach aims to reduce the incidence of disease or moderate disease progression. By prioritising preventive measures, we encourage maximum opportunity to experience quality in life.
