Natural therapy is the application of substances and methods that are directly related to human life, such as food, air, water, sunlight, gymnastics, sleep, rest, and spiritual factors that are beneficial to health, such as hope and belief, to maintain and restore health.
Natural therapy is based on human health, with emphasis on maintaining good health and preventing diseases, and has many similarities with Chinese medicine. Western medicine focuses on disease and focuses on how to diagnose and treat diseases when the body appears. Therefore, the two systems are quite different in academic thinking and technical means. Natural therapy mainly includes the following:
NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
Nutritional therapy is to allow patients to eat according to certain recipes or supplement certain nutrients, so that diet becomes a means of treatment. Nutritional therapy is the basis of natural therapy, and naturopathic therapists first choose this therapy to treat patients in clinical practice. More and more studies have proved that crude food and supplementary nutrients can achieve the purpose of health care and treatment of diseases. Nutritional therapy can effectively treat acne, arthritis, asthma, atherosclerosis, depression, type 2 diabetes, eczema, gout, hypertension, premenstrual tension syndrome, and ulcerative colitis.
PHOTOTHERAPY
Phototherapy is the use of plants as medicines to prevent and cure diseases, and can also be called herbal therapy. Phototherapy has received increasing attention. When modern naturopathic doctors use botanicals to treat diseases, they not only rely on the traditional medicinal properties of the plant in traditional medicine, but also master its modern pharmacological effects and mechanism of action, which makes the therapy more scientific and modern. Nowadays, many naturopaths are not using raw plant raw medicinal materials, but using active ingredients extracted from plants.
ACUPUNCTURE THERAPY
Acupuncture therapy is derived from Chinese medicine. It stimulates the body’s acupoints through acupuncture, massage, laser, electrical stimulation, etc.
HYDROTHERAPY
Hydrotherapy uses various forms of water, such as hot water, cold water, and steam, to protect health or prevent diseases. Specific methods include bath, douche, hot spring bath, swirling warm water bath, sauna, shower, wet cloth, mud, foot bath, hot compress and enema. Hydrotherapy has been one of the treatment methods of many nations in the world since ancient times.
