Pages : 594
Book Description
NATUROPATHIC PHYSICAL MEDICINE provides a philosophical naturopathic perspective, as well as practical clinical applications, for manual and physical approaches to health care. A wide range of bodywork and movement approaches and modalities are evaluated in relation to their ability to be appropriately used in naturopathic treatment and rehabilitation settings. The model of care emphasised in this text recognizes that naturopathically oriented therapeutic interventions usually focus on achieving one or all of the following: enhancement of function so that the person, system or part, can better self-regulate in response to adaptive demands; modification or removal of adaptive load factors; and symptomatic relief without creation of significant additional adaptive changes.

Principles of Naturopathic Medicine

Pages : 452
Book Description
Why Naturopaths do what they do is determined by a set of principles anchored in clinical experience and guided by successful clinical results. The fourth volume of the twelve volume Hevert Collection, Principles of Naturopathic Medicine, distills from a rich literature the principles that propelled the early Naturopaths to take a different path from those around them. All spoke in a unified voice, proclaiming that Nature must be respected and acknowledged, especially if healing was the objective. The human body's intelligence to restore vitality and health was a principle that the early Naturopaths knew and believed with absolute conviction. They knew that the self-regulating powers of Nature were beyond the powers of men, and that to think otherwise was simply folly, and even arrogant. Healing occurred when the body's own processes were supported rather than suppressed. They knew this. They practiced from these principles. The Hevert Collection: In Their Own Words restores to the profession an abundant literature, featuring the guiding principles of Naturopathy. Culling through this rich landscape of seminal articles, Dr. Sussanna Czeranko, ND, NUNM's Rare Book Room Curator, has lovingly and professionally created this twelve book series, reintroducing the roots of the medicine to modern Naturopaths. Richly illustrated with photographs of some article authors and advertisements for Naturopathic services, remedies, and healing principles.
The scientific Naturopath A leap into the evidence behind naturopathy philosophies

Pages : 168
Book Description
The science of yoga & naturopathy has always stood the test of time and continues to amaze both the health seekers and healthcare givers. However, the quest for modernization and impatience among the stakeholders to invent shortcut remedies to mimic modern medical practice has dimmed the original philosophical essence of this holistic system of medicine. The younger generation naturopaths are influenced by the gimmicks of illusory truth and have developed a strong notion that there is no science left behind naturopathy philosophies. ‘The Scientific Naturopath’ is comprehensive coverage of the evidence behind naturopathy philosophies and showcases its strength/relevance in modern times. This book will be immensely useful for yoga & naturopathy students, physicians and academicians in comprehending naturopathy philosophies like vitality, toxaemia, unity of cure-unity of disease etc using modern scales.
