The growing interest in natural health and alternative health care options has become much more popular over the last 30 years, driven largely by the independent-thinking baby boomer generation who has wanted to take more charge of their own health.
Concepts in preventive care, self-care, nutrition, diet and exercise-based wellness, and supplementation, along with an amalgam of various healing arts, from homeopathic remedies to acupuncture, has become a way of life for many people. Many of today’s health conscious people are convinced of the natural, curative powers of alternative medicine in general.
Also, the more information that is known about the proven dangers of some prescription drugs, surgeries, cancer treatments, impersonal physician’s care, combined with the rising costs of health care, the less many people feel that they want to put their health care decisions blindly into the hands of a large health care industry that is often driven by the almighty dollar.
Natural health concerns cover issues such as preventive care, self-care, natural treatments, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic care, nutrition, and other drug-free, non-invasive health care methods that generally pose less health risks.
According to various studies and research over the years, there is evidence that many natural health methods are indeed effective, particularly those that relate to preventive or moderately progressed health conditions, but there is also some risk in exploring only naturopathic avenues when a very serious health episode develops. Wise use of all health care methods is the key in maintaining good health.
Using natural health and wellness techniques or conventional health care methods are all sometimes appropriate. But natural health options are quite appealing because they often afford anyone the ability to choose between a variety of simple, less toxic, less traumatic options for taking care of one’s own body. Naturopathic doctors as well as other alternative health care professionals are also a valuable source of help in many instances.
