Mind-Body Medicine

The philosophy of Naturopathic medicine emphasizes the patients ability to learn how to listen to the body for signs of health and imbalance. The naturopathic doctor also closely listens for clues to the patients health found in symptoms of the body, mind and spirit. The patient is a partner in learning about health and learns to experience the sense of well-being that emanates from good health. Naturopathic doctors utilized  their skills as well as their intuition. Mind-Body medicine focuses on the body, mind and spirit interactions found within the patient. Mind-Body medicine comprises psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, mind-body healing, and spirituality in helping the patient heal. Patients learn how the feel emotionally affects how they feel physically. Patients also learn how their thoughts about their recovery affect their healing from pain and disease.
