| Description: |
Natural medicine is an
array of healing practices
drawing from many
cultures. The role of natural
medicine is to facilitate the
body’s natural healing
processes through natural,
nontoxic therapies. As
such, the cause of the disease is sought rather than
simply suppressing the symptoms, which are viewed as
the body’s natural attempt to heal. In addition,
advocates of natural medicine are committed to the
principle of causing no harm to the patient and to
treating the person as a whole. |
