What is a Naturopathic Doctor?

Naturopathic Doctor's Oath

Naturopathic Doctors in St. John's, NL

I dedicate myself to the service of humanity as a practitioner of the art and science of Naturopathic Medicine. By precept, education and example, I will assist and encourage others to strengthen their health, reduce risks for disease and preserve the health of our planet for ourselves and future generations.

​

I will continually endeavour to improve my abilities. I will conduct my life and practice of Naturopathic Medicine with integrity and freedom from prejudice. I will keep confident what should not be divulged. I will honour the principles of Naturopathic Medicine:

​

• First, to do no harm

• To cooperate with the healing powers of nature

• To address the fundamental causes of disease

• To heal the whole person through individualised treatment

• To teach the principles of healthy living and preventive medicine 

​

With my whole heart, before these witnesses, as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, I pledge to remain true to this oath.
