The following six principles are the foundation of naturopathic care:

Primum Non Nocere - First do no harm

Naturopaths honour the individual’s unique healing process, and aim to use the least intervention necessary in order to achieve a desired health outcome or goal. In choosing natural therapeutic methods or medicinal substances, naturopaths prioritise those that offer the greatest possible health benefit with the least possible risk of harmful side effects. If a client’s presentation is beyond their scope of practice or skill level, naturopaths refer to a more appropriate health or medical practitioner.

Vis Medicatrix Naturae - The healing power of nature

In naturopathic philosophy and practice, the body-mind-spirit has an innate ability to heal. The role of the naturopath is to facilitate this healing process by working with the client to identify and remove any obstacles to their recovery. Naturopaths also recognise the inherent value of the natural world and of a healthy, natural environment as being foundational to human health and wellbeing.

Tolle Causam - Treat the cause

Naturopaths aim to identify and remove any underlying causes of illness, be they physical, mental and/or emotional, rather than to only suppress or eliminate symptoms.

Docere - Doctor as teacher

Naturopaths aim to educate, empower and inspire their clients to play an active role in their healing process. This elevates a client’s health literacy and provides them with the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain lifelong health and wellbeing. There is also great therapeutic value in the practitioner-patient relationship itself, and naturopaths take the time to really listen to their clients’ stories and to build relationships based on a foundation of trust.

Treat the whole person

Naturopaths view each client as an integrated whole, taking into consideration the unique physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, and spiritual factors that influence a person’s health and wellbeing. By treating the whole person, a state of optimum health and balance may be achieved, characterised by positive actions, thoughts and emotions, rather than a mere absence of disease.

Prevention

Naturopaths emphasise prevention of disease, assessing a client’s hereditary tendencies, risk factors and current health status, and recommending appropriate interventions to prevent illness from developing in the first place.
