NatureopathyBenefits
Naturopathy is used for a wide variety of health issues ranging from acutetesttest to chronictesttest. It is difficult to draw the line between which illnesses respond well to Naturopathy as natural and conventional therapies are often combined in treatment.
Among other illnesses, Naturopathy is commonly used in the treatment of inflammations, asthma, arthritis, hepatitis, congestive heart failure, infections, respiratory disorders, and degenerative and terminal illnesses.
Naturopathy is also used for preventative maintenance and disease prevention. Primary Care Physicians who are also formally trained as Naturopaths can provide their patient's with a more holistic view of health and natural preventative measures than physicians trained strictly in conventional medicine.
Dr. Dean Ornish, MD, published author and Director of the Preventative Medicine Research Institute in California, discovered that patients suffering from heart disease were able to reverse their conditions without the use of traditional drugs or surgery. This was accomplished through stress reduction, a very low fat diet, meditation, yoga, moderate exercise, and participation in emotional support groups. Such success has provided significant validation to the practice of Naturopathy. Insurance companies are also recognizing the program created by Dr. Ornish as an alternative to the risk and expense of heart surgeries and some are providing coverage accordingly.Naturopathy does have its limitations. In the cases of acute trauma, accidents, and other emergencies including childbirth complications, conventional medicine would supercede the use of Naturopathy as the primary therapy.
