THERAPY from a natural medicine perspective must not be intrusive, or "imposing" of a predetermined solution. Natural therapy prods the body/being into finding its own solution to its health problem.
Natural Therapeutics subscribes to the vitalistic principle of life, meaning, biological systems are equipped with a life-sustaining and self-healing vital energy. Simply put, according to this view, disease is regarded as an obstruction in the process or pathway of efficient physiologic function. Vital energy can deal with ordinary, non-life threatening disruptions in health. In more serious conditions, Natural Therapies offer different means of obstacle removal from the path of the vital energy for it to circulate freely, in order to accomplish its mission of self-healing.
The purpose of natural therapy therefore, is to facilitate the triggering of the healing reflexes of the patient's body.
