The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae) The healing power of nature is the inherent, self-organizing and healing process of all living systems which establishes, maintains and restores health. Naturopathy recognizes this healing process to be ordered and intelligent. It is the naturopathic practitioner's role to support, facilitate and augment this process by identifying and removing obstacles to health by supporting the creation of a healthy internal and external environment. Identify and Target the Causes (Tolle Causam) Health challenges do not occur without cause. These causes may originate from many influences and peripheral contributing factors. Invariability, symptoms occur as an expression of the body's attempt to defend, adapt, recover, and inevitably relieve itself of the underlying cause. Naturopathic practitioners target the actual 'underlying cause' of the health challenge itself, rather than just attempting to suppress the symptoms and mask the anomaly. First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere) Naturopathic practioners follow three precepts to avoid harming the client: (1) Naturopathic practitioners utilize a various array of non-invasive methods and natural substances which minimize the overall risk in discovering the underlying cause of their health challenges and instituting a regimen of amelioration. (2) The suppression of symptoms is avoided, as suppression inevitably interferes with the healing process. (3) Naturopathic practitioners respect and work with the Vis Medicatrix Naturae in their overall discovery and counseling. Doctor As Teacher (Docere) The original meaning of the word "doctor" is “teacher”. The principal objective of naturopathy is to meticulously and comprehensively educate the client as to recognizing anomalies and in achieving overall optimal health and amelioration. Naturopathic practitioners also recognize and employ the therapeutic potential of the doctor-patient relationship. Target the Whole Person Health, and the lack thereof, result from a complex of physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social and various other peripheral factors. Since total health also includes spiritual health, naturopathic practitioners encourage individuals to pursue their own personal spiritual development. Naturopathy recognizes the harmonious functioning of all aspects of the individual as being essential to health. The multifactorial nature of health and its challenges require an in-depth personalized and comprehensive approach to amelioration. Naturopathic practitioners encompass the whole person in taking each of these factors into account. Prevention Naturopathic colleges emphasize the study of health as well its various array of challenges. The prevention of these health challenges and the attainment of optimal health in clients are the primary objectives of naturopathy. In practice, these objectives are accomplished through education and the promotion of healthy ways of living. Naturopathic practitioners assess risk factors, heredity and susceptibility, then make appropriate suggestions in partnership with their clients to prevent the potential for the manifestation of health challenges by instituting optimal health. Naturopathy asserts that one cannot be healthy in an unhealthy environment and is committed to the creation of a world in which humanity may thrive.

It is important to supplement our diet with vitamins and minerals. It
is especially important that we receive the highest quality product in
a form that will be quickly and easily absorbed. And it is
difficult to obtain the necessary vitamins and minerals from food
because of mineral-deficient soils that are common throughout the world
today. It only takes 10 years of intensive farming to exhaust the
minerals in any tract of land. The depletion of necessary nutrients by
cooking and processing living foods adds to the difficulty in obtaining
vital minerals and vitamins from our food. Severe vitamin deficiencies
will result in serious illnesses. Even a modest deficiency in certain
vitamins, can have a profound effect on health. Both
professionals and consumers demonstrate the well-known value of T. J.
Clark Colloidal Mineral Products by 80 years of continuous successful
use. You also have the assurance that comes from actual function
testing in a prestigious laboratory. If you choose to use a colloidal
mineral product, please take the time to understand it. Knowledge is
power and Knowledgeable Consumers are, and have always been, the most
valuable asset of T. J. Clark & Company. To order online, please click onto the following banner:  ________________________________________________________ Natural Animal Health Products Vetri-Science Laboratories of Vermont:

modality is the primary foundation of all things effecting health. It
encompasses the use of various foods and properly planted, grown,
harvested and appropriately manufactured organically-derived
nutritional supplements to build, repair and maintain health. The body
needs to consume a minimum of ninety nutrients (60 minerals, 16
vitamins, 12 amino acids and 3 fatty acids) every day in ample
proportions. The therapeutic use of foods, diet, and supplementation has always been an integral part of naturopathic medicine. Botanical Medicine This
modality is sometimes known as phytotherapy. It a
form of medicine which relies on the use of plants, either whole or in
the form of prepared extracts and essences. It encompasses both Eastern
and Western plants. For thousands of years, plants were a primary
source of therapeutic medication for cultures all over the world. Homeopathic Medicine This
modality is based on the principle that “like cures like”. In simple
words, it means that any substance, which can produce symptoms in a
healthy person, can reverse similar symptoms in a person who is sick.
This idea is referred to as the “Law of Similars”, and was understood
by Aristotle and Hippocrates and mentioned in ancient Hindu manuscripts.  Orthomolecular Medicine A
form of alternative medicine that aims to prevent and target dis-ease
by using specific vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, trace minerals,
electrolytes, and other natural substances. The client's state of
health, external or environmental factors and quality of diet are taken
into account. The architect of orthomolecular medicine, Nobel Prize
laureate Linus Pauling, coined the term in 1968. The aim of
orthomolecular medicine is not merely to eliminate dis-ease, but to aim
for optimum health. Ayurvedic Medicine This
is the healing science from India. It has been practiced for over 5,000
years by millions of individuals to assist the body in journeying back
to optimal health. It provides holistic understanding and healing to
people on all levels: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  Lifestyle Counseling Naturopathic
practitioners are committed to the education and guidance of their
clients in making positive changes to various aspects of their
lifestyle that may be inhibiting optimal health. Naturopathic lifestyle
counseling takes into consideration where you are in your health
journey and what you wish to achieve. By evaluating the environmental,
mental, emotional and physical aspects of your life, the naturopath can
help you make choices which will enhance your well-being and reduce
stress levels.  Hydrotherapy There
is a physiological basis to hydrotherapy. Cold is stimulating, and it
causes superficial blood vessels to constrict, shunting the blood to
internal organs. Hot water is relaxing, causes blood vessels to dilate,
and removes wastes from body tissues. Alternating hot can cold water
also improves elimination, decreases inflammation, and stimulates
circulation.  |
