HEALTH SPECIAL ............HOW NATUROPATHY WORKS

HOW NATUROPATHY WORKS

If you’re considering this alternative method of treatment, it’s important to know what it stands for

AS INTEREST in alternative systems of medical care grows, more and more people are turning to naturopathy – the natural, herbal method of dealing with illnesses. Naturopathy has a philosophy of its own, and follows five fundamental principles:

1. DO NO HARM
Sounds simple? It isn’t, really. Medical practitioners sometimes over treat patients while attempting to cure a condition. This leaves the patient with a poor quality of life. Naturopathy ensures that the patient has incurred no harm after the treatment.

2. TREAT THE CAUSE, NOT THE SYMPTOMS
Naturopathy focusses on targetting the root cause. For example, in case of high cholesterol, the naturopath will treat liver imbalance (that causes the problem) via a diet, rather than prescribing medication to reduce cholesterol levels.

3. LET THE BODY HEAL ITSELF
Naturopathy uses a combination of natural herbal antibiotics, tonics, good nutrition, rest and sleep to heal the body. It believes in supporting, rather than overwhelming the system.;

4. HEAL HOLISTICALLY
For example, in the case of a hormonal disorder, the patient will be treated as a whole. There will be equal focus on, nutritional needs, yoga, herbs, and psychological counselling or meditation, rather than just prescribing supplemental hormones.

5. EDUCATE PATIENTS
The word ‘doctor’ comes from ‘docere’, meaning ‘to teach’. Naturopathy teaches patients about the genesis of their problems, so that they can avoid the diet and lifestyle-related issues that lead to ill health.

6. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
As a disease progresses, curing it becomes harder and harder, because organ functions degenerate. Also, by the time a patient seeks treatment, her or his unhealthy habits are deeply ingrained. Naturopathy encourages early detection of the disease, if actual prevention is not possible.
