Natural therapy is treatment of common conditions through the use of safe and drug free methods. Before birth of Hippocrates and the rise of modern medicine natural therapy was the standard treatment for the illnesses and conditions of mankind. Natural therapy was in existence before modern medicine and is still being used today in every country in the world. If that is not a testament to longevity and success then nothing is. Why has natural therapy survived through the millennia? Simple…it works.
Hippocrates said “First, do no harm” and that saying became part of the Hippocratic Oath that all doctors take. The practitioners of natural therapy and alternative medicine have lived by that very idea long before it was put into words.
In the modern practice of medicine it seems that most care providers work more diligently at suppressing symptoms than they do at discovering the cause of the symptoms. Perhaps they believe that it is easier to write a prescription of pain rather than discover the reason for the pain.
Those who practice natural therapy and alternative medicine have a completely different view. While they will indeed treat the symptoms it is their primary goal to discover the cause. In discovering and treating the underlying cause the symptoms will cease.
The identification and elimination of the cause of a chronic condition is absolutely necessary in order to be cured. Suppose your feet hurt and when analyzing the condition you discover that your feet hurt because your shoes are too small. Would it not make sense to change your shoes instead of taking medication for the foot pain? Natural therapy and alternative medicine dig deeper than the symptom. It is not their goal to simply offer relief from the symptoms; it is to discover and cure the condition.
Natural therapy is made up of many diverse disciplines but all are designed to treat the underlying condition of the patient rather than just the symptoms. Here is just a partial list of natural therapy disciplines.
- Ayurveda – herbal medicine, dietary changes, meditation, and yoga
- Colonic Irrigation – Cleanses toxins built up in the body
- Nutritional Advice – Change in diet to strengthen and heal the body
- Massage Therapy – Use of various massage techniques to relieve stress, pain, and anxiety while enhancing the circulation and promoting a feeling of health and well being.
- Spinal and Cervical Adjustments – Removing pressure on nerves, restoring mobility, and relief of pain.
- Naturopathy – Treat the mental, emotional, and physical states with lasting effects.
This short list of natural therapy options is not all inclusive and there are many more available.
