natural cures
Healing without pharmaceuticals
Natural cures are remedies derived from plants, foods, or traditional practices rather than pharmaceutical drugs or medical procedures.
The term appears frequently in alternative medicine and wellness contexts: She swears by natural cures for headaches.
The phrase often carries skepticism from mainstream medicine, as many purported natural cures lack scientific evidence, though some have proven therapeutic value.
