Natural Medicine

Our bodies have power and capabilities that, until a few years ago, many of us weren’t even aware of.
Without diminishing the importance of conventional (Western) medicine, more and more people have recently come to understand that natural medicine, based on the body’s own ability to heal itself, holds many benefits and has the power to treat various medical and psychological conditions.
In fact, natural medicine is able to address various conditions for which conventional medicine has no answer — this is one of the reasons hospitals and health funds have chosen to establish alternative-medicine units and make room for natural medicine and its benefits.

Characteristics of natural medicine

First of all, as its name suggests, natural medicine uses only natural substances such as: medicinal herbs, Bach flower remedies and dietary supplements made from natural ingredients.
Secondly, natural medicine is holistic, and as such it treats the person as a whole and tries to address the source of a problem rather than just the symptom — which can prevent the problem from recurring.
Like Western medicine, natural medicine is also based on a preliminary diagnosis, but this diagnosis isn’t based on external aids such as instruments (which in certain cases can cause a feeling of discomfort), but rather on observation, listening, questioning and touch — all while being sensitive to the patient and attentive to their responses.
It’s important to note here that natural medicine encompasses a wide range of different treatment methods, each of which is based on somewhat different principles and treatment approaches.

Who is natural medicine suitable for?

Natural medicine is suitable for every person and has the power to help treat a wide range of medical and psychological conditions such as: diabetes, hormonal imbalance, issues with the digestive system, skin problems, nervous system issues, blood lipids, stress, anxiety and anger, fertility issues and many other problems.
Natural medicine also includes treatments intended to strengthen the body and mind and prevent future illness.

Choosing a complementary medicine practitioner

Of course, as with Western medicine, when it comes to the field of natural medicine, it’s very important to be careful in choosing a practitioner and to make sure they have the appropriate knowledge, experience and certification to provide the treatment.
A well-informed choice of a practitioner who specializes in the field of natural medicine will allow you to enjoy all the benefits that this medicine holds.
