The belief that the patient is autonomous and thus empower them to be able to make the right decisions for themselves by providing informed consent and teaching.

Medicine made from plants for the purpose of healing root causes and/or symptomatic relief.
Homeopathy is an energetic modality over 200 years old and entails using diluted substances to stimulate the innate ability of the body to heal.
