naturopathy
Nature-based medicine system
Naturopathy is a system of alternative medicine that emphasizes the body's ability to heal itself through natural treatments—herbal remedies, dietary changes, massage, acupuncture, and lifestyle adjustments rather than drugs or surgery.
Practitioners are called naturopaths.
The approach is holistic, treating the whole person rather than isolated symptoms: She turned to naturopathy after conventional medicine failed to help her chronic fatigue.
