The Roots of Naturopathy
The roots of naturopathy go back thousands of years, relying on the healing wisdom of many cultures, including Indian (Ayurveda), Chinese (Taoist), Greek (Corpus Hippocraticum), Arabic, and European Egyptians (Monastic). In these early civilizations people lived in a harmonious relationship with their surroundings and the understanding of disease was accomplished by observing nature and how it interplayed with human life. What these traditional forms of medicine have in common is the understanding that the body has an innate ability to heal – referred to as vitalism – and that life, health, and disease follow certain laws and principles that are logical. Naturopathic Principles The uniqueness of naturopathy arises from the application of 7 fundamental principles, which complement the naturopathic philosophies of vitalism and holism. The naturopathic principles affect the aspect of assessment, diagnosis and treatment. To follow this naturopathic principle, every naturopath needs to self-educate about safety issues, drug interactions with herbal and nutritional cure. Healing Power of Nature denotes the body's ability to heal itself. This healing power is an inherently self-organizing, ordered healing process of living systems, which establishes, maintains and restores health. To facilitate the endemic healing within a body, the role of the naturopath is to support, facilitate and augment the Naturopathic Principles. Treat the cause is a principle that stresses the importance of identifying and treating the cause(s) of disease. Identifying the root cause of disease and the aggravating factors is an essential aspect of naturopathic care. As part of the therapeutic encounter, a naturopath explores a range of factors that impact health and disease, including genetics, lifestyle, social, environmental, external and medical interventions. Each individual is unique with their own specific susceptibilities and way of manifesting disharmony and disease. It is the harmonious functioning of all aspects of individuals – within themselves, with others and with their environment – which is essential to health. Disease affects the entire person, not just a specific organ or system. The role of a naturopath is to educate about the factors that affect health and disease so that individuals are more informed about the impact of their choices and so that they are more capable of maintaining their own health. Disease Prevention and Health Promotion involves promoting a healthy lifestyle, assessing risk factors, determining susceptibility to disease and making appropriate therapeutic interventions. It involves assessing environmental and external factors that might be affecting health, determining the impact of social relationships and community on health and assessing the impact of medical interventions. Wellbeing is composed of the 2 words “well” and “being.” The concept of “wellbeing” indicates that it is not only “wellness” that is required for health, but also “being-ness” on a physical, psychological and spiritual level. Naturopathic Theories One of the goals in delineating the naturopathic philosophies, principles, and theories is to avoid overlap and to clarify the proper placement of key concepts. For example, the theory of Vital Force is synonymous with the naturopathic philosophy Vitalism; Integration of the Individual and Naturopathic Triad of Health are integrated in the naturopathic principle, Treat the Whole Person. Some of the naturopathic theories are concepts used throughout the naturopathic encounter, such as Humoral Theory. Other naturopathic theories, such as Unity of Disease and Theory of Toxemia, are concepts that have been incorporated into the naturopathic principle, Treat the Cause. The remaining naturopathic theories – Naturopathic Cures, Value of a Fever, Therapeutic Order, Hering's Law of Cure and Emunctory Theory – are used to guide naturopathic treatment regimens. Humoral Theory was an integral part of the origin of naturopathy. It explains the transmission of the elemental theory on the human body. Humoral Theory is a concept that spans all aspects of the naturopathic therapeutic encounter, including assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. Emunctory Theory states that proper elimination of toxins is essential to overall health. Eliminating toxins is often the first required treatment focus, especially for chronic disease. Elimination of toxins assists vitality and its corollary; conversely, lack of elimination blocks vitality or vital force. The primary emunctory pathways include the lungs (breath), kidneys (urine), bowels (stool), skin (sweating), menses/ejaculation and voice (speaking). Secondary emunctory pathways include all other ways in which the body excretes toxins, including nasal discharge, eye discharge, and skin eruptions. P. Myers, the Therapeutic Order is described in detail as a hierarchy of healing. The Therapeutic Order is a natural hierarchy of therapeutic intervention, based on or dictated by observations of the nature of the healing process, from ancient times through the present. It follows a natural ordering of the modalities of naturopathic medicine and their application. The naturopathic Therapeutic Order is based on the concept that the body possesses an intrinsic nature to heal itself using the least possible force. The Therapeutic Order is the natural order in which naturopathic therapies should be applied in order to provide the greatest benefit and the least potential for damage.
