Naturopathic Medicine is a form of alternative medicine. Naturopathy comes from Greek and Latin and means “nature disease”. Hippocrates was the first to practice naturopathy. Natural medicines have been around since. We ask ourselves why use natural remedies versus pharmacutical medicines. Many drugs that we buy have medicinal plant extracts in them.
Plant extracts have been used for centuries in medicines and cosmetics. By 1965, there were over 130 million prescription drugs that were made using plant extracts. Most hormones in todays medicines are also made from plant extracts. In modern medicine the plant extracts are not always in there natural form. They are mixed with chemicals to make them more powerful but can also cause more side affects due to the impurities.
Besides our modern medicines, there are other remedies that come from plant extractions. Healing natural oils is a natural way to cure many symptoms or conditions.
