In celebration of Naturopathic Medicine Week I have created daily podcasts covering the Principles of Naturopathic Medicine with regard to how they shape my practice and benefit my clients. 
Primum Non Nocere
(Click Podcast above to listen in)
- Primum Non Nocere (First, Do No Harm): Naturopathic physicians follow three guidelines to avoid harming the patient:
- Utilize methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat;
- Avoid when possible the harmful suppression of symptoms; and
- Acknowledge, respect, and work with the individual’s self-healing processes.
