Natural Medicine (health)


A term used to describe the philosophy of the particular alternative systems that emphasize Vis Medicatrix Naturae, "the healing power of Nature." The therapeutic emphasis is on supporting or stimulating the organism抯 self-healing processes, rather than treating the symptoms or the disease. The "healing power" of Nature is found in the innate homeostatic and healing systems of the body and mind of the living organism, not in the natural medicinal substance or therapy. This is also sometimes call "vitalistic" medicine.
