Naturopathic Healing Principles

Dis-ease serves a valuable purpose and presents with it lessons to be learned.

Dis-ease challenges the body's innate healing mechanisms and engages the vital force to respond. We need this to grow, adapt, respond and evolve.

Primum Non Nocere; is to fully support the highly evolved and self-intelligent vital force by removing the obstacles to cure and supporting the natural orchestration of the body's vital force in self regulating a return to wellness. 

Our Naturopathic approach is to never suppress the healing response, but to direct and support the system through the evolution of it's healing process. We look to the root causes, and weed out that which ails. Suppression could lead to further deepening of the illness or disease progression to a chronic nature. Naturopathic Medicine is more than providing a natural remedy for your ailments. It is a deeper understanding into the nature of healing.

For true healing to unfold, we must cooperate with the healing forces of nature and support our being in a manner complimentary to Herring's Law and the Natural Laws of Healing.

The body has amazing inherent abilities to establish, maintain and restore health. To evolve itself beyond previous limitations and knowing.

This healing process is ordered and intelligent and mirrors the response of the life force within and around us, mimicking the ebb and flow of the natural laws of nature. 

The Naturopathic Physician’s role is to facilitate this process by re-balancing and re-animating the life force, the universal vital force. Accessing the micro and macro, inner and outer balance, using natural therapies that match the potency and intensity of the dis-ease, thereby cooperating with the healing power of nature in its infinite wisdom and expression.

Dis-ease can occur on any level, whether it be on the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. It often permeates all layers of spirit-mind and manifests in the physical body as we continue to signal the same pathways in a patterned behavior.

The role of the physician is to discover the underlying causal factors in the devolution of health and into the manifestations of dis-ease. 

The treatment is then tailored to address the fundamental roots of said illness and is maneuvered and guided in the direction of how it disturbed the organism on the various planes from which it ensued. 

The Naturopathic Doctor resolves to address the fundamental causes of illness through all permeations of the whole of the being and in the reverse order of its manifestations following bodily feedback mechanisms to gauge readiness. 

We must address the causal factor on the level in which it manifests in order to unwind and disentangle, and evolve from outdated sickness patterning. This happens gradually and in stages, according to our unique miasmas, and reactional modes and constitutional foundations. It is a process. 

True healing unfolds in a non-linear and multidimensional pattern, through all layers of our beings.

Our bodies are intricate and complex. We are comprised of biochemical, electro-magnetic forces and fields, meridian systems, chakras, soul house centers of Shen, Qi and Jing. We have built in inner technologies and genetic encoding hidden and dormant within. We can learn to access these inherent pathways as tools to facilitate the journey within and out of dis-ease.

Our mindsets, beliefs and habits shape our behaviors and reflect our patterning.  

To heal as a whole and beyond the acute symptomatology, we delve deeper to address the disturbances on the levels in which they manifest. 

For some, addressing the superficial layer is sufficient. Others prefer a deeper dive to aaddress and balance the systems from a functional medicine approach. For others, they choose to break the cyclic pattern which brought them to this point. 

You decide from an empowered place to which depths you would like your healing journey to unfold. 

To heal the whole person, Dr. Cheryl D'Costa, ND, R.Ac, BPHE creates a tailored and through individualized treatment plan that evolves with you and matches your progress in the evolution back towards health, holism and vitality.

 "The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. 

Therefore the physician must come from nature, with an open mind." 

- Paraselsus (1493-1541) 

The doctor-patient relationship is sacred and has deep inherent therapeutic value when a patient can fully and authentically self-express to help facilitate the release from what ails. 

The role of the Naturopathic Doctor is to educate and encourage patients to take empowered self responsibility for their health by teaching the principles necessary for transforming illness towards health. 

The physician helps navigate the patient into alignment with their vital force, a merging of mind-body-spirit back into better alignment within. This then, becomes a powerful catalyst for empowering positive changes directed towards the healing process and a freeing up of trapped vital force to further engage the process and evolution back towards health and wellness.

The physician guides and evolves the course of treatments to match and support the patient throughout the steps along their journey. 

The Naturopathic Doctor respects the laws of nature and mirrors these natural laws in the journey towards health.
