Natural healing therapies comprise of many healing systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Acupuncture, Osteopathy, Homeopathy, Massage Therapy, among many others.

The common philosophy of such treatments is that the human body possesses the inherent ability to heal itself if given the right set of conditions. Natural therapies do not simply suppress the symptoms but look at the holistic interaction of the various body systems and attempt to remove the root cause of a disease. The emphasis is often placed on the prevention of diseases.

In addition, diet, nutrition, exercise and other life-style practices play important roles.

There has been a steady increase in the body of scientific evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of the natural healing arts. Natural healing methods have been proven useful in complementing conventional medicine, especially in the more chronic disease conditions like arthritic pain, chronic fatigue, insomnia, asthma and allergies.
