PHILOSOPHY
santan natural medicine
It is the natural tendency of the human body to be healthy.  It is our lifestyle habits and our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing that either help or hinder this process.  Our goal at SanTan Natural Medicine is to remove the obstacles that prevent health and to foster the natural healing properties within the body.  We do this by practicing the type of medicine that adheres to the six guiding principles of naturopathic medicine:

 
First Do No Harm - primum non nocere
    
Our role, as physicians, is to restore and support the natural healing properties
      of the body

 
Discover and Treat the Cause, Not Just the Effect - tolle causam
    
Our goal is to find and treat the true cause of the disease.  Symptoms are simply
     “the body's natural attempt to heal”.

  Treat the Whole Person - tolle totum
    
Each person is seen as unique and in need of individualized care.  The body is a
      synergistic organism and the health of one body system hinges on the health of
      every body system.  Treatment plans are designed to create balance in the body, as
      a whole, by treating the entire person.


  The Physician is a Teacher - docere
    
Our objective is not just to treat, but to “educate, empower, and motivate patients to
      take responsibility for their own health.”

  Prevention is the Best Cure
    
Prevention is best attained through the education and promotion of healthy lifestyle
      habits that prevent disease and supports health.
