Healing Naturally Through Naturopathy

 

The term Naturopathy is derived from two words ‘natura’ and ‘pathos’. Natura in Latin means birth and pathos is the Greek root for suffering. Naturopathy is thus a tradition, which applies the five basic elements viz. sky / ether, air, fire, water and earth, herbals, and acupressure modalities for healthcare. It also promotes wellness through diet and lifestyle counseling. Naturopathy is recognized as an alternative medicine to improve physiological, psychological, and structural balance. Each therapy comprised in Naturopathy is therefore a personal treatment for different individuals.

 

For Holistic Wellbeing

Naturopathy is based on different methods including, clinical nutrition, physical medicine, natural childbirth, counseling and psychotherapy. An effective and age-old source of alternative medication, Naturopathy happens to include a variety of healing therapies for mankind. It makes use of a variety of self-healing treatments for a holistic wellbeing, rather than relying on chemically/scientifically prepared medication. Naturopathy achieves that by relying on the belief that our bodies have a natural ability to heal themselves if we follow certain methods. 

Naturopathy integrates the best of worlds of medicine, the traditional / old-school, as well as the contemporary. Therefore, the traditional therapeutic remedies backed by latest research from this realm form the foundation of treatment by naturopathy. Usually, an individualized approach is followed in offering treatment to patients with different kinds of ailments.

Essential Parameters of Naturopathy

Clinical Nutrition and Dietary Counseling

This particular therapy involves assessing a person’s nutritional status and dietary needs. A relationship between that and his/her existing health is formed in order to figure out the cause of concern and get working on the treatment.

Herbal / Botanical Medication

Naturopathy treatments sometimes make use of some naturally available plants and plant extracts in various forms, so as to treat the illness from the root. Naturopathy believes that it is possible for us to heal by consuming or topically applying these naturally gifted sources of medication, without the intake of harsh medications.  

Hydrotherapy

As the name suggests, the various healing properties of water are made use of in this particular therapy so as to detoxify the body from inside-out and put it on a naturally healing mode. Water is used in different forms and at different temperatures, either internally or by external means such as steam bath, etc. Hydrotherapy is also commonly known as hydropathic therapy by many across the world.

Acupressure 

In this antique system of treatment, health is restored by triggering our body’s vital energy points.
