Naturopathic Physicians are physicians who have completed a four-year medical program. Naturopathic education and training include the study of standard medical science that is similar to “traditional medicine” with an emphasis in natural therapeutics. Naturopathic training specializes in the application of vitamin and mineral therapies, botanical medicines, homeopathy, physical medicine, nutritional and lifestyle counseling and stress management. Health care is offered for both acute and chronic conditions.

Naturopathic physicians seek to restore and maintain optimal health. Naturopathic philosophy promotes wellness. Its goal is to find and support the optimum balance between nutrition, lifestyle and use of therapies that best promote good health. The guiding principles of Naturopathy include: FIRST DO NO HARM, Naturopathic medicine uses therapies that are safe and effective. FIND THE CAUSE, Physicians seek and treat the underlying cause of a disease, not just the effect. Symptoms are viewed as expressions of the body’s natural attempt to heal. The origin of disease is removed or treated so the patient can recover. TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON, no part of any biological system exists in isolation or is completely separable from the rest. All parts of any whole are interconnected. A change in one part produces various types of changes in all the other parts. PHYSICIANS AS TEACHER, The physician’s major role is to educate, empower and motivate patients to take responsibility for their own health, Creating a healthy cooperative relationship with the patient has strong therapeutic value. PREVENTION IS THE BEST CURE, Naturopathic physicians are preventative medicine specialists. Physicians assess patient risk factors, heredity and susceptibility and intervene appropriately to reduce risk and prevent illness. Prevention of disease is best accomplished through education and a lifestyle that supports health.

Homeopathy is a medical art and science. It is a truly holistic approach to health as it emphasizes people rather than disease.

Homeopathy is based on the principle that "Like Cures Like". Give the body what it is suffering with or from and the body will naturally realign itself to a state of health.

Founded in the 1700's by the German Physician and Chemist Samuel Hahnemann, homeopathy continues, two hundred years later, to treat and prevent illness. Homeopathic medicines are among the safest known: non-allergenic, non-toxic, free of side effects and have no known drug interactions.

They are prepared from herbal, mineral and animal substances and made in accordance with the HPUS (Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States) and regulated by the FDA.

Homeopathic remedies act curatively and preventively by raising your general level of health by strengthening your own internal defense mechanism or immune system.

Homeopathy treats all illnesses whether they are of a general medical, pediatric, gynecological or psychological nature. The homeopath sees each patient as a unique individual with a unique personality and unique set of symptoms. This means that six persons with the same illness might each get a different homeopathic remedy.
