Treat the Whole Person

You may have heard that treating the whole person encompasses looking at the body, the mind, and the spirit. Naturopathic doctors bring this statement to life when treating your health conditions.  It very much relates to treat the cause because the cause of your symptom or disease can sometimes have multiple layers. Your heart disease may be caused by high stress and poor diet. These may be influenced by not having a spiritual connection to others or a higher power or purpose. To treat the whole person is to have a longterm view or the individual person being treated and not simply look to the quickest and most convenient way to treat a condition.
