An Introduction To Principles Practices Of Naturopathic Medicine

Principles and Practice of Naturopathic Medicine has been written to meet the needs of several different readers: naturopathic medical students and educators; students and educators in other healthcare professions; naturopathic physicians and other healthcare professionals; and patients participating in their own healing process. Principles & Practices links naturopathic philosophy and clinical theory to standard practice. Designed to comply with the curriculum standards established at leading naturopathic colleges affiliated with the Council of Naturopathic Education (CNME), this is the first textbook published for use in introductory courses in naturopathic medicine. Principles & Practices enables students to complete the for¬mative part of their basic training, allowing them to enter their clinical training with increased confidence. The book provides the basic information students need for further study in specific modalities, such as required upper-year courses in clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, physical medicine, hydrotherapy, and lifestyle counseling. For other natural medicine and healthcare students, studying chiropractic, osteopathic, botanical, or homeopathic medicine, for example, this book should enable them to learn to practice as broadly as possible so that they can treat patients as narrowly as they wish to. Likewise, conventional medical colleges may use this book as the foundation of required or elective courses in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) or integrative practices. Practicing physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals will find this book a useful reference, offering a quick overview ofthe naturopathic approach, which may complement or enhance their approach, and serving as

Designed for introductory courses, this volume is a teaching tool with a focus on principles and basic practices, using problem- solution and case-study pedagogy to teach the use of herbs in preventing and treating illnesses.

Why Naturopaths do what they do is determined by a set of principles anchored in clinical experience and guided by successful clinical results. The fourth volume of the twelve volume Hevert Collection, Principles of Naturopathic Medicine, distills from a rich literature the principles that propelled the early Naturopaths to take a different path from those around them. All spoke in a unified voice, proclaiming that Nature must be respected and acknowledged, especially if healing was the objective. The human body's intelligence to restore vitality and health was a principle that the early Naturopaths knew and believed with absolute conviction. They knew that the self-regulating powers of Nature were beyond the powers of men, and that to think otherwise was simply folly, and even arrogant. Healing occurred when the body's own processes were supported rather than suppressed. They knew this. They practiced from these principles. The Hevert Collection: In Their Own Words restores to the profession an abundant literature, featuring the guiding principles of Naturopathy. Culling through this rich landscape of seminal articles, Dr. Sussanna Czeranko, ND, NUNM's Rare Book Room Curator, has lovingly and professionally created this twelve book series, reintroducing the roots of the medicine to modern Naturopaths. Richly illustrated with photographs of some article authors and advertisements for Naturopathic services, remedies, and healing principles.
