natural treatment
Non-pharmaceutical healing method
Natural treatment refers to medical or therapeutic approaches that avoid synthetic drugs or invasive procedures, relying instead on diet, herbs, physical manipulation, or the body's own healing processes: She sought natural treatment for her migraines.
The term spans everything from evidence-based practices like physical therapy to alternative medicine with less scientific support.
What counts as "natural" varies widely and is often more marketing than meaningful distinction.
