Naturopathic medicine follows three principles to avoid harming the patient: a. Utilize methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects. B. Avoid, when possible, the harmful suppression of symptoms. C. Acknowledge and respect the individual’s healing process, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat illness.

Docere– Doctor as Teacher
Naturopathic physicians educate the patient and encourage self-responsibility for health. They also acknowledge the therapeutic value inherent in the doctor-patient relationship.
