Naturopathic Medical Doctors (NMD/NDs) are trained as health care providers who diagnose, treat and manage patients with acute and chronic conditions, while addressing disease and dysfunction at the level of body, mind and spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60103895d4e38835c734a600/1612416153660-8KNMEPZIBPOO5FBIXUV2/image-asset.jpeg Home - Naturopathic Principles First Do No Harm Core to all medical practice is the desire to help the human form and condition. NDs typically approach care by utilizing the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapies. NDs will refer when the patient’s presentation is outside their scope or level of skill. The Healing Power of Nature NDs recognize the value of our natural world in assisting the healing process. Not only do NDs utilize substances that originate in nature, but they also incorporate a healthy natural environment as foundational to human health. Naturopathic doctors recognize and harness the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself in order to guide patients to wellness and total health. Identify and Treat the Causes There is a time and place for symptom suppression, however most naturopathic patients will benefit from identifying the underlying causes of illness and removing obstacles to cure. Doctor as Teacher Naturopathic doctors elevate patient health literacy. That means that NDs are part of the team helping patients have a better understanding of what it takes to be and stay well. Through education and a trust-based relationship, patients better understand the steps they need to take to achieve and maintain health. Treat the Whole Person Naturopathic doctors understand the interconnectedness of our body, our environment and our lifestyle on total health. It is only through this whole-person-based approach that NDs seek to restore balance and health. Prevention Naturopathic medicine affirms that it is better to prevent illness and suffering whenever possible. Through their comprehensive practice, NDs combine all six principles in order to identify potential areas of imbalance and teach patients how to get well and stay well. https://www.sagewellness.org/faqs daily 0.75 2025-08-21 https://www.sagewellness.org/schedule daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://www.sagewellness.org/about-me daily 0.75 2025-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60103895d4e38835c734a600/1612572448148-HBBJV780RPT0TF4NRS0N/Headshot+AANP+2019.jpg About Me - Dr. Misty Story, ND I am a Naturopathic Doctor with Naturopathic Licensure in the states of Idaho and Washington.
