All medicines have roots in healing traditions. However, a healing tradition becomes medicine when its practitioners recognize the laws of nature and use only this premise to investigate and describe the body’s functions and dysfunctions.

​

In Traditional Healing Medicine, TM/CAM-Naturotherapy, the principles of diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis are based solely on the laws of nature and its restorative care.

 

Naturotherapy, Ayurveda, Oriental Medicine, Osteopathy or other Traditional Healing modalities, as energy healing, recognize the laws of nature and use them to diagnose and treat illness, based on the phenomenon of return to a natural state of being.

 

Wherein all efforts to restore or preserve health are employed in the practice, Traditional Complementary and Alternative Medicine-Naturotherapy are Natural Medicine Practices that focus on a complete state of wellbeing of a person, as a whole, not just a disease process or condition.

​

Health as defined by the WHO is: a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

​

The profession of Natural Medicine is still in the process of change, with the latest classification NOC 33209 in Canada defining us under a broad category of healers.

 

The Examining Board of Natural Medicine represents practitioners of varying skills which fall under our DNM® Diplomate Level Specialists and General Practice Naturotherapist.

 

In order to establish a standardized profession, we maintain a registry of dynamic, professional practitioners; we have defined a scope of practice, a code of conduct, and trademarked titles for our members to be recognized by various health Organizations, the general public, Insurance companies, and Government agencies.
