I dedicate myself to the service of humanity as a
practitioner of the art and science of Naturopathic medicine.
I will honor my teachers and all who have preserved and developed this
knowledge and dedicate myself to supporting the growth and evolution of
Naturopathic medicine. I will endeavor to continually improve my abilities
as a healer through study, reflection, and genuine concern for humanity. I
will impart knowledge of the advanced healing arts to dedicated colleagues
and students.
Through precept, lecture, 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, our families, and future generations.
According to my best ability and judgment, I will use methods of treatment
which follow the principles of Naturopathic medicine:
-
First of all, to do no harm.
-
To act in cooperation with the Healing Power of Nature.
-
To address the fundamental causes of disease.
-
To heal the whole person through individualized treatment.
To teach the principles of healthy living and preventive medicine.
I will conduct my life and the practice of Naturopathic health care with
vigilance, integrity, and freedom from prejudice. I will abstain from
voluntary acts of injustice and corruption. I will keep confidential
whatever I am privileged to witness, whether professionally or privately,
that should not be divulged.
With my whole heart, before this gathering of witnesses, as a Doctor of
Naturopathic Medicine, I pledge to remain true to this oath.
