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.
