1902 Benedict is in America? Lust founded the first natural medical college in new york, teaching natural diet, nutrition, spinal correction, herbs, homeopathy, hydrotherapy and so on.
He believes that natural therapy is a method to eliminate toxins in the body and enhance the vitality of patients by adjusting diet, breathing and exercise.
Although the word "naturopathy" originated in Europe, in fact, before the discovery of modern medicine, all countries in the world had their own naturopathy and it was very mature. Such as Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine, Indian medicine, European homeopathy, hydrotherapy and so on.
NO. 1 principles of natural medicine
My natural medicine teacher, Dr. Lin Zijie, also summed up several principles of natural medicine, which we as natural medicine health care workers must strictly abide by.
1, respect the natural healing ability of human body;
2. Find out the reasons behind the disease, rather than simply suppressing the symptoms;
3. Use natural and safe methods;
4. Change the lifestyle and eating habits of patients through education, and teach them to be responsible for their own health.
5. Let patients know the importance of disease prevention through education;
6. Look at life from the perspective of body and mind;
7. Pay attention to mental health.
Second, misunderstanding of natural medicine.
Most of what we are facing now is modern medicine. For China people, the older generation may still know something about TCM. However, with the rapid development of medical technology, people rely more and more on modern medicine, and many problems have arisen.
China residents' health big data survey report shows that the health status of Chinese people is not optimistic. Our country also advocates that every China person should be the first responsible person for his own health, truly control his lifestyle and diet, and truly prevent diseases from starting from himself.
When it comes to natural medicine, many people don't understand it and there are many misunderstandings. Here's an explanation.
Myth 1: Natural medicine sells health care products.
Natural medicine is a complete system, which attaches importance to fundamentally solving human problems from both physical and mental aspects. Selling only one or two kinds of health care products is definitely not a "natural medicine".
Myth 2: There is no professional medical training in natural medicine.
Natural medicine is also a perfect medical system, as rigorous as modern medicine, with a large number of clinical arguments.
Myth 3: Natural medicine excludes all western medicine, surgery and chemotherapy.
Natural medicine is a rigorous discipline, and it will not blindly exclude other medical systems, nor will it make blind judgments.
Myth 4: No side effects.
Anything that works should have a dose and a limit. Please don't choose blindly. Please consult a professional for specific usage.
Myth 5: Hospitals and doctors don't understand nutrition.
Hospitals and doctors specialize in modern medicine, clinical medicine and natural medicine, belonging to two completely different systems. It is very normal not to understand and disagree.
Natural medicine advocates the unity of body and mind is the root cause!
