In naturopathic medicine, we operate on the basic principle that the body has a natural tendency to move towards health. Disease happens when there is something that blocks that natural movement. That something could be diet, lifestyle, mental/emotional blocks, or any number of other things.
My job as a naturopathic doctor is not to use drugs to push a person through the block(s), but to help people identify what the blocks are, remove them (as much as possible) and then use natural therapies to support the body so it can do it’s thing and get well.
