Why Our Approach to Wellbeing?
When your body speaks, listen! Health is more than simply being disease free. It is an ongoing process developing and maintaining the highest level of wellness within an individual. The whole body is involved in this process. In this way, the healthiest results are attainable by each individual. The key word here is "individual." No two people are exactly alike. Lifestyle, body chemistry, likes and dislikes, not to mention all the little unique things that make you who you are differs from person to person.
"Root Cause" is more than just a buzz word here at the Center. Too often symptoms rather than "root cause" are addressed in healthcare. Naturopathic training is focused in looking well beyond symptoms and current healthcare trends to find the starting point, or root cause, of dis-ease. The methodology has been used successfully for thousands of years by trained professionals. It is a holistic, or whole body approach, that recognizes all aspects (mind, body, spirit, environment) will impact one another and your health.
The mission of HWNC is to help people achieve the highest level of wellness possible, using only evidence-based holistic health approaches. Evidence-based means studies have been completed on the methods used and found them to improve health in individuals. This approach allows the best of all avenues to be used in promoting health. Some of these approaches you may be familiar with and others may be new to you. All have been shown to improve health, wellness, and quality of life in thousands of individuals.
Long before buzz words such as integrative and functional, Naturopathic medicine recognized the depth of body system interactions. More importantly, over the decades documented evidence has show the validity of naturopathic focus in healing. This has resulted in other medical systems adopting some of the techniques and renaming their approach in treatment. Unfortunately, treatment and healing are words that cannot be used interchangeably. The core principles that drive wellbeing are often missing.

Dr. Richardson's spice insights in HER Magazine
Core Principles of Naturopathy
1). The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae)
The body's inherent ability to heal itself is recognized. Naturopathic physicians identify and remove obstacles to recovery to facilitate this healing ability in patients.
2). Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle Causam)
The naturopathic physician seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than eliminate or merely suppress symptoms.
3). First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere)
Naturopathic medicine follows three principles to avoid harming the patient:
1. Use methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects;
2. Avoid, when possible, the harmful suppression of symptoms;
3. Acknowledge and respect the individual's healing process, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat illness.
4). Doctor as Teacher (Docere)
Naturopathic physicians educate the patient and encourage self-responsibility for health. They also acknowledge the therapeutic value inherent in the doctor-patient relationship.
5). Treat the Whole Person
Naturopathic physicians treat each individual by taking into account physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social factors. Since total health also includes spiritual health,
naturopathic physicians encourage individuals to pursue their personal spiritual path.
Naturopathic physicians emphasize disease prevention, assessment of risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease and making appropriate interventions to prevent illness.
7). Wellness
Wellness follows the establishment and maintenance of optimum health & balance. Wellness is a state of being healthy, characterized by positive emotion, thought and action. Wellness is innate in everyone, regardless of disease(s). If wellness is recognized and experienced by an individual, it will more quickly heal a given disease than direct treatment of the disease alone.
