What is Naturopathic Medicine and what can
it do for you?
Naturopathy is a system of therapy based on preventative care, and on the use of heat, water, light, air, and massage as primary therapies for disease. Naturopathy is an American healthcare profession. It was founded in the US as a formal healthcare system at the turn of the 20th century by medical practitioners from various natural therapeutic disciplines. As practiced today, naturopathy integrates traditional natural therapeutics -- including botanicals, clinical nutrition, homeopathy, acupuncture, traditional oriental medicine, hydrotherapy, and naturopathic manipulative therapy. The research base of naturopathic practice consists of empirical documentation of treatments using case history observations, health histories, and summaries of practitioners' clinical experiences.
Research indicates that mind-body interventions like meditation and guided imagery promote natural healing. Naturopathy promotes the use of biologically-based healing therapies like herbs and vitamins and explores energy therapies such as reiki and therapeutic touch.
Naturopathy blends centuries old natural, non-toxic therapies with current advances in the study of health and human systems. It covers all aspects of family health from prenatal to geriatric care.
Naturopathy can be effective in treating many health problems, both acute and chronic. Some of the therapies used by naturopathic s are described below:
Clinical Nutrition is a cornerstone of naturopathic
medicine. If refers to both the practice of using food to maintain health
and the therapeutic use of food to treat illness. Scientific research has
shown that many medical conditions can be treated as effectively with food
and nutritional supplements as they can by other means, with fewer complications
and side effects.
Homeopathy is a powerful system of medicine
that is more than 2000 years old. This medical system uses highly diluted
substances to cure illness. Homeopathic remedies act to enhance the body’s
innate immune response and rarely have side effects. Some conditions that
do not respond well to conventional medicine will respond to homeopathic
therapies.
Botanicals Many plant substances are powerful ,safe and effective formulations promoting health when used properly. A resurgence of scientific research in Europe and Asia is demonstrating that some plant substances are superior to synthetic drugs in clinical conditions.
Counseling and Stress Management. Mental attitudes
and emotional states can be important elements in healing illness. Naturopathic
physicians’ training includes counseling, nutritional balancing, and stress
management
The Principles of Naturopathic Medicine
The Healing Power of Nature. Naturopathic
medicine recognizes an inherent self-healing process in the person, which
is ordered and intelligent. Naturopathic physicians act to identify and
remove obstacles to healing and recovery, and to facilitate and agument
this inherent self-healing process.
Treat the Whole Person. Naturopathic physicians
treat each patient by taking into account individual physical, mental,
emotional, genetic, environmental, social and other factors. Since total
health also includes spiritual health, naturopathic physicians encourage
individuals to pursue that personal spiritual development.
Prevention. Naturopathic health care practitioners emphasize the prevention of diseases.
