When I began naturopathic medical school, the very first thing we learned was the six principles of naturopathic medicine – the foundation of our entire approach to health. Out of all of them, the one that stood out most to me was Vis Medicatrix Naturae – the healing power of nature. This principle recognizes two truths: first, that the body has an innate ability to heal itself when given the right support, and second, that nature itself plays an essential role in that process.
