Naturopathy
What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy was the earliest known healing system and covers all aspects of family health from prenatal to geriatric care, with a special focus on whole-patient wellness.
Dr. Jocelin Whitaker as a Doctor of Traditional Naturopathy tailors her work with each client to view each as an individual, placing a strong emphasis upon prevention and self-care.
Naturopathy is based upon six fundamental principles:
- The Healing Power of Nature– Trust in the body’s inherent wisdom given by God to heal itself.
- Identify and Treat the Causes– Look beyond the symptoms to the underlying cause.
- First Do No Harm– Utilize the most natural, least invasive, and least toxic therapies.
- Doctor as Teacher– Educate patients in the steps to achieving and maintaining health.
- Treat the Whole Person– View the body as an integrated whole in all its physical and spiritual dimensions.
- Prevention – Focus on overall health, wellness and disease prevention
