“Illness does not appear by chance. It is a direct result of the way we live – what we eat and drink, if we have enough physical exercise and our state of mind,” writes Christopher Vasey, author of The Naturopathic Way. “The basic principles of naturopathy recognize this reality…”
Even though it seems so obvious, too often traditional medical diagnoses and treatments avoid looking at holistic health in dealing with ailments and disease.
The Naturopathic Way: How to Detox, Find Quality Nutrition and Restore Your Acid-Alkaline Balance is an excellent book for exploring alternative methods of well-being and healthy living.
“For many people, naturopathy distinguishes itself for allopathic medicine only by the remedies it employs. These remedies are natural (found in nature – medicinal plants, hydrotherapy, and so forth) rather than “chemical” (created in a laboratory). In reality there is another stark difference: the naturopath has a completely different concept of disease from that of the allopathic physician,” explains Vasey.
The Naturopathic Way will appeal to newcomers to alternative healthcare as it offers a comprehensive overview of naturopathic medicine, how naturopath medicine views illness compared to more traditional forms of healthcare and also the holistic rationales behind illness and disease.
The introductory component of the book will be particularly interesting to individuals who are more familiar in having their allopathic practitioners look at ailments and illnesses in isolation from the entire body.
Unlike traditional medicine that encourages a passive approach, the road to well-being as outlined in The Naturopathic Way does require some effort on behalf of the individual to maintain health and body balance. Diet, detoxification, exercise, rest and our environment all factor into our well-being. Once an individual has the knowledge and empowerment to maintain their own personal health, there is likely no turning back to using only traditional medicinal practices.
The Naturopathic Way is divided into three main sections including The Naturopathic Concept of Illness, The Causes of Illness and the Reasons for Health, and Naturopathy in Practice: Correcting and Balancing the Internal Cellular Environment. Aside from the wealth of information packed into this slim volume, The Naturopathic Way also contains detailed information on how to detox the body, restore Acid-Alkaline Balance and restore general good health.
An excellent guide and reference book to maintaining well-being in an increasingly toxic world.
