Every day, more and more people are turning to Naturopathy to find a solution with their health problems. Some of them even feel more comfortable with natural medicine than drugs prescribed by their physicians, often filled with negative effects. If in the past herbal medicine was used mostly in developing countries, it is not the case these days. According to many researchers, it is estimated that over 50% of people in the US use a type of natural health products, including products based on medicinal herbs, vitamin and mineral supplements and homeopathic preparations.

Naturopathy is a therapeutic method using natural products instead of drugs and invasive treatments. Unlike drugs therapy, natural remedies help to heal itself and to remain healthy. Along with healthy lifestyle (eating healthy diet, exercise regularly, do not smoke, etc.), certain herbal preparation helps the natural defensive system of the body fight infection and diseases.

What is the history behind homeopathy?

Although this term may seem new to many, its origin is very old. Like many of us today, around 1700s, a German physician named Samuel Christian Hahnemann was dissatisfied with the medical practices of his time. He aimed to find a way to treat its patients with the same substances that made them sick. According to his hypothesis, substances that cause set of symptoms in a person in good health could relieve a patient with similar symptoms. He called his approach homeopathy. However, the medical elite rejected his principle. Although neglected by modern medicine, people in developing countries have been using homeopathy for centuries with great success.

These days, millions of people in developing countries like USA have seen through the naturopathic medicine the best way to remediate their health problems. However, not all natural remedies are safe; there no single herbal remedy for all diseases; that does not exist. You need to stay away from any naturopathic physician who claims he has one remedy for 10’s of illnesses. In fact, naturopathic medicine is not only the use of herbal remedy, but also diet, nutrition, exercise, physical manipulation, and stress management. In addition, as for conventional medicine, there is a method of admission and the precautions to take when taking natural remedies.
