What is naturopathy?

 
It is the science of health that studies the human being from a natural, holistic and global point of view (physical, emotional and energetic sides of the existence of a human being), with the aim of preventing diseases and curing the imbalances that cause them. It is what many people know popularly and with great success as natural medicine.
 
Naturopathy is a discipline that is encompassed within what we call natural therapy and it is recommended that we apply it when we already have a previous medical assessment. It means “natural healing” and includes therapeutic modalities that guide the human body towards its original state of balance.
 
This technique treats the disease from the global point of view, taking into account the physical state but also the emotional and mental state of the individual and making a selection of the most suitable techniques for each patient with the results of the clinical examination obtained.
 
Above all, it tries to stimulate the capacities of self-healing and recovery of each person, taking care of and favouring the elimination of toxins and the stimulation of the immune system, which are important pillars for health.
 
This technique consists of different disciplines that will help to achieve a global treatment of the individual in all its aspects:
 
Dietetics and Nutrition: The use of nutrition and the type of specific diet in each time of our life will greatly influence our physical, mental and emotional state.
 
Herbalism: The usee of specific medicinal plants for each treatment and its specific application. Acts directly in the biochemical field of the body.
Chiromassage: Therapeutic massage performed directly with the hands that will help achieve results in areas of the body, favouring the drainage of toxins, regulating the nervous system and improving the general physical condition of the patient.
 
Aromatherapy: Essential oils are products distilled from naturally aromatic vegetable substances found in flowers, fruits, roots, barks and seeds. Acts on the patient’s physical and emotional system.
 
Foot Reflexology: Through a remote treatment of the organ or system we manage to balance the organism of the individual. It is performed by applying pressure in specific areas of the foot and generates global results throughout the body.
 
 

How does it work and what is naturopathy for?

Naturopathy is the most important global treatment we have within what we call Natural Medicine. It generates a change of attitude towards a comprehensive understanding of health and disease, and a change in treatments to make them more effective and less harmful.
 
It does not act alone, it does so in collaboration with a conventional doctor, trying to enhance the effects of the treatment and improve the general condition of the patient.
 
Naturopathy uses natural and holistic methods of health, helps healthy people to avoid illness, fastens recovery from sickness and enjoy a normally active life.
Each case is treated individually, looking for the origin of the problem and its treatment will be based on a compendium of changes so that we can reach the initial state of health or our body can recover to the maximum of its possibilities.
 
How to choose between modern medicine and naturopathy?
Both types of medicine can be “modern”; naturopathy is based on natural laws that do not go out of style along with the information provided by the most recent studies and the most innovative therapies, taking into account the personal circumstances of our society and allopathic medicine has sufficient capital to be at the forefront of the most important advances and discoveries in the sector, the problem is the way one or other type of medicine is applied.
 
The bureaucratically established industrial medicine, in many cases performs a rather mechanical task, based on obsolete protocols many times and in many other times following the pulses that mark the pharmaceutical industry, being far removed from the nature of the human being and its specific circumstances, and on the other hand holistic medicine sometimes seems too interested in selling supplements and chimeras.
 
Therefore, it is not correct to say that one type of medicine is better or worse because you simply use different methods and philosophies that are complementary and that will be more or less appropriate according to the professionalism of the person who exercises, according to the patient’s health and personality circumstances.
 
The best idea is to achieve an integrative, collaborative and applied medicine with honesty.
 
What does a naturopath study?
A naturopath studies anatomy, biochemistry, metabolism and nutrition, physiopathology and different therapies and healing technique. Among some of the complementary studies a neuropath may opt for, there are oligotherapy, orthomolecular medicine, aromatherapy, Bach flowers, colour psychology, iridology and chiromassage.
 
How does naturopathy cure?
Naturopathy considers health from a global point of view: emotions, environmental pollution, physical activity, nutrition, toxicity, etc., because the human being is a group formed by emotions, physical body, energy and external circumstances, and it would not be possible to understand it from isolated points of view.
Regain health through self-regulation of the organism, respect for its natural balance and detoxification, paying special attention to prevention (holistic method). Naturopathy not only treats the symptoms, but also tries to get to the root of the problem to eliminate the root cause and disease.
 
What kind of problems can be treated with naturopathy?
Naturopathy is able to treat any health disorder; however, success cases are surprising to recover the balance and liver or kidney function, treat autoimmune diseases, overweight, allergies, inflammatory diseases such as rheumatism, digestive disorders, food or endocrine and common childhood disorders such as dermatitis, excess mucus, respiratory problems, etc.
 
We must bear in mind that most minor or serious diseases of our ‘developed society’ are a direct cause of imbalances that can be avoided and corrected; therefore, most of current health disorders can be treated successfully by applying naturopathy correctly and consistently.
