Why Natural Medicine?

Natural Medicine takes a different approach from mainstream medicine. The patient is
always treated as an indivisible whole. Health is determined by the weakest link in a
patient's body. Therefore, only looking at the obvious issue rarely brings lasting results.
Rather than simply trying to control your body mechanisms, Natural Medicine works on
empowering your body to control itself.

There are the most obvious differences between Natural Medicine and conventional,
mainstream medicine.
Patient versus Disease:
    Natural medicine looks at any condition within the whole make-up of the patient;
    mainstream medicine treats an isolated disease. This is commonly summarized
    as: Natural medicine treats the patient—mainstream medicine treats the disease.
Cause versus Symptom:
    When it comes to treating a condition, natural medicine will want to find and treat
    the cause; mainstream medicine mostly treats symptoms.
Support versus Suppression:
    Treatment in the case of natural medicine means supporting your body in its
    attempt to heal itself—slowly and systematically. Mainstream medicine
    suppresses a disease in order to quickly remove the most obvious symptoms,
    pain and inflammation.
Chronic versus Acute:
    Because of its ability to work with your body and bring about improvements slowly,
    natural medicine is particularly suitable for the treatment of chronic, ongoing
    conditions. Mainstream medicine is excellent at handling acute situations and all
    cases where surgery is required.
Prevention versus Sick Care:
    Preventive care is easy for natural medicine since it critically looks at early and
    subtle changes in your systems and functions. Mainstream medicine relies mostly
    on blood and urine tests for diagnosis. These show changes only once you are
    seriously ill.
Lifestyle Change versus Prescription Medication:
    Where possible, natural medicine advocates lifestyle changes that include
    nutrition and exercise. Mainstream medicine generally starts with synthetic
    prescription drugs—some for life long.
Natural Medicine is a wide and comprehensive
field.
