These principles are based on the objective observation of health and disease, and are continually reassessed in light of evolving scientific research. It is these principles that distinguish the profession of naturopathic medicine from other medical approaches:
- First of all, to do no harm.
- To act in cooperation with the Healing Power of Nature.
- To address the fundamental cause of disease.
- To heal the whole person through individualized treatment.
- To teach the principles of healthy living and preventative medicine.
