In the mainstream Western medicine system, naturopathy is usually summarized as an alternative health care. Actually, naturopathy has a longer history than any medicine or medical skill because from 18th or 19th times, it had already started to spread in European countries. According to the report from German Federal College of historical perspective, in western countries not only natural cures are popular, but over 80% traditional western medicines take natural therapies as well. Many magnificos and even royalty members adopt naturopathy for treatment and health care.
Naturopathic medicine is far advanced and reaches America, Canada, and Australia and so on. According to research, one third of the populations in North America once have resorts to naturopathy to some extent. In 1900, a group of western medicine doctors who support naturopathy and naturopathy doctors set up American Naturopathic Medical Association, medical colleges and hospitals; in 1921 provincial government of British Columbia legislate to recognize naturopathy and protect it. Since 1950, naturopathy had once been overcast as war advocated surgery.
However, as the knowledge level of the general public improved in just two decades, people accepted the harmless natural medicine more easily, which established the position of naturopathy further and became a trend. Thus, naturopathy becomes popular in Europe and the United States, and even in Asia. While the World Health Organization once issued the public calls for this harmless but effective natural therapy. Natural medicine has been accepted around the world. The medicinal value of natural medicine has been approved in Europe, America, UK and Canada. Natural medicine colleges are also established from place to place.
The theory of taking from nature is unique essence of naturopathy and the course of treatment is mainly based on six principles. (1) Enhance self-healing capabilities. You should utilize the native ability of human body to build, maintain and recover your health. (2) Address the causes of disease. Naturopathy doesn't eliminate diseases alone, the meaning of which is to find the main causes of disease and then solve the problem thoroughly. (3) Apply natural drugs. Natural drugs to which any chemical compositions are not added can strengthen immunological competence and help body restore to health without any side effect.
(4) Pay attention to overall treatment. In fact, human health can usually be affected by multiple internal and extrinsic elements, such as physiology, psychology, spirit, gene, and even environmental pollution, magnetic field, pressure, social problem around and so on. As a result, overall treatment is very important. (5) Establish teachers and friends relationships. The treatment effect and speed can be strengthened if therapist has adequate communication with patient, which means therapist should also teach patient as he/she doctors. (6) Prevention is better than cure. Strengthening the sense of ordinary health care is more effective than finding ways to treat when diseases attack.
