OFFERING NATURAL HOLISTIC CARE
Our physicians provide holistic healthcare and follow a philosophy of treating the whole patient. We seek to treat the root cause of your problem in a comprehensive manner. Symptoms are important, but they often only reveal what lies at the surface.
The following principles are the foundation of holistic natural medicine:
-
The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae): Holistic natural medicine recognizes an inherent self-healing process in people that is ordered and intelligent.
-
Identify and Treat the Causes (ToIle Causam): Holistic natural medicine seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness rather than to merely eliminate or suppress symptoms.
-
First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere): Holistic natural medicine follows 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 individuals’ self-healing process.
-
Doctor as Teacher (Docere): We seek to educate our patients and encourage self-responsibility for health.
-
Treat the Whole Person: We treat each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, and other factors.Prevention: Holistic natural medicine emphasizes the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility to disease, and by making appropriate interventions in partnership with their patients to prevent illness.

- Digestive and Bowel Function
