subject: Naturopathy Treatment Can Be Quite Effective For Health Benefits [print this page] Naturopathy treatment started in the first half of the 20th century. It gained popularity in a very short period of time and was taught in over twenty schools in the US. But with the emergence of alternative treatments and pharmaceutical drugs, it experienced a decline in popularity. However, during recent years, Naturopathy has made a comeback and the search and practice for alternative medicine and more natural systems of healing have become popular again.
Naturopathy is an integration of several alternative medicine practices including botanical or herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, ayurvedic medicine etc. Although naturopathy cures a disease or ailment using natural, non-invasive and non-toxic methods, the illness itself is diagnosed with modern scientific diagnostic methods.
Naturopathy treatment is getting popular in India also. The Naturopathy system believes that our body has the power to heal itself. In fact, observable disease or illness is part of the body's way of healing itself. For instance, the belief that fever is only present when the body is fighting off an internal infection. This means that the illness or disease that we can see is actually a part of the body's entire healing process.
Naturopaths believe that our body is quite capable of maintaining its health through natural care. In a Naturopathic treatment, whole person is treated as an identity and not the endive focusing on maintaining health. And the importance of prevention is always highlighted. Proper nutrition is seen as a form of therapy and manner of fighting disease, as well as being a form of prevention.
When following a Naturopathic health plan, doctors will highlight prevention as the best cure, encouraging patients to eat healthy and have healthy practices in caring for the body.
