Natural Health
Natural health: Is a natural approach to health care. Natural health is a natural healing practice, or a branch of alternative medicine, that looks at nature for answers and explanations. There are a few Western forms of alternative medicine that NCCAM has classified as Biologically Based Therapies, as well as, Mind and Body Interventions used in stress management. There is nothing magical about it. It is about natural healing therapies for prevention and healthy lifestyles. This means eating natural whole foods, nutritional supplements, physical exercise. Natural health is nothing new, but is has evolved over the years within certain prevention parameters and healthy lifestyles that have been proven to work over and over. There is nothing anti-intellectual or anti-scientific about it. All health, wellness, illness, and healing can be positively affected by simple and inexpensive natural therapies.
