DEFINITION - What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic
medicine is a distinct system of primary health care - an art, science,
philosophy and practice of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of illness.
Naturopathic medicine is distinguished by the principles which underlie and
determine its practice. These principles are based upon the objective
observation of the nature of health and disease, and are continually reexamined
in the light of scientific advances. Methods used are consistent with these
principles and are chosen upon the basis of patient individuality. Naturopathic
physicians are primary health care practitioners, whose diverse techniques
include modern and traditional, scientific and empirical methods.
