Natural Health Therapy

If you don't have accurate details regarding herbal, then you might make a bad choice on the subject. Don't let that happen: keep reading. All natural health says is that all health and sickness can be affected by simple natural therapies. At its most basic level it can be said that natural health therapy refers to only one thing: biological factors of health, especially as they apply to everyday life in western society. In its early history, the natural health movement did show considerable interest in hydrotherapy and the relaxation it offered through the usage of spas, steam baths, and other water cures. The more modern additions to natural health that concern themselves with the body-mind connection and how that relates to stress and tension are influenced by eastern alternative medical theories. Having said that, what natural health therapy finally implies is that the human body has complete capacity to heal itself from most forms of sickness (of course, a broken bone cannot be fixed by altering your lifestyle, it needs to be put in a cast), mostly through prevention. So as far as natural health thinking goes, all healing is basically self-healing and this is considered to be a basic property of all things alive. Vitalism It is to be observed that as early 400 B.C., Hippocrates (who is considered to be the father of medicine) had written that, "the natural healing force within us is the greatest force in getting well". This is known as vitalism, also known as 'vis medicatrix naturae' (the inherent wisdom of the body). To put it simply, whenever there is something wrong with the body the doctor will attempt something, for example: using antibiotics to kill the infection, perform surgery to remove a poisoned part or for amputation, put a broken bone into a cast, suture a flesh wound. All of these are part of the healing trade. The catch is that the body of patient has to actively respond to all this treatment otherwise it is wasted. Vitalism makes the body want to heal and get well. This is a well documented fact that people who deal with their physical problems confidently and cheerfully heal faster than others. The precise reason as to why this happens is not understood but the fact is still undeniable. Holism One explanation comes from the concept of Holism which says that the process of healing is a combined effort by the entire organism and cannot be achieved by any isolated part of that organism. The Holism concept can be traced to the time of Paracelsus, 1439-1541, who is credited with being the father of modern medicine. When Paracelsus treated patients he refused to pay attention to only that part which was showing symptoms of disease. Instead, he tried to treat the whole body as one whole entity. Holism is not a symptom=cure sort of healing technique. It involves a careful study of the defensive abilities of each individual patient's body. Practitioners have to have the knowledge to differentiate between disease symptoms and the defensive or recovery systems. What Holism believes is that when someone falls sick, their whole body has undergone some kind of weakness and has lost the balance of its strength. So the solution is to simply restore the strength of the body. All western natural health therapies rely on biological factors and the better developed psychosocial approaches are a modern addition. Individualism This concept is different in the sense that it places all responsibility for sickness and good health on every individual in a society. So everyone is responsible for their personal health. Individualism results from an awareness of the importance of individuals in a community and the resulting virtues of self-reliance and personal independence. Well-rounded individuals are both self-reliant and independent. Victim-blaming What this means is that if someone gets sick then the victim of the sickness did something wrong. While it might sound a little weird what it honestly means is that personal health is a personal responsibility and no one can blame someone or something else for his or her illness. It focuses on the self. Improve yourself because the environment around you is too big to change for one individual. In other words, health problems should be self corrected and the obvious solution is a change in the victim's lifestyle. Prevention This is probably the most difficult concept for the modern day individual to grasp. Though everyone is aware of the phrase 'prevention is better than cure' there are few people who actually go the extent of preventing even the most obvious trouble (think about smoking, alcohol, high cholesterol foods, sugar, etc.). Prevention does not merely suggest that troublesome activities should be avoided. What is says is that improving health is better than fighting disease. It suggests the application of this to short term as well as long term negative effects. In the short term, a healthy body can easily ward off minor illnesses (like common cold) and injuries (razor cuts, skin peeling during sports activities for instance). In the long term prevention suggests caution in all that is done today so that it does not result in adverse outcomes in the future. In other words, it too suggests a change in lifestyle for a healthier tomorrow. Reasonably good health can be achieved by everyone. What is even better that the means to do so do not have to acquired from anyone, the capacity to do so lies within us. The next few pages focus exclusively on herbs and subsequently on natural herbal cures.
