Download or read book Naturopathic Physical Medicine written by Leon Chaitow and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2008-05-30 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATUROPATHIC PHYSICAL MEDICINE provides a philosophical naturopathic perspective, as well as practical clinical applications, for manual and physical approaches to health care. A wide range of bodywork and movement approaches and modalities are evaluated in relation to their ability to be appropriately used in naturopathic treatment and rehabilitation settings. The model of care emphasised in this text recognizes that naturopathically oriented therapeutic interventions usually focus on achieving one or all of the following: enhancement of function so that the person, system or part, can better self-regulate in response to adaptive demands; modification or removal of adaptive load factors; and symptomatic relief without creation of significant additional adaptive changes.
Download or read book Nature s Path written by Susan E. Cayleff and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eclectic group of firebrands overcame strong odds to create the naturopathic healing system. An alternative medical system emphasizing prevention through healthy living, positive mind-body-spirit strength, and therapeutics to enhance the body’s innate healing processes, naturopathy has gained legitimacy in recent years. In Nature’s Path—the first comprehensive book to examine the complex history and culture of American naturopathy—Susan E. Cayleff tells the fascinating story of the movement’s nineteenth-century roots. While early naturopaths were sometimes divided by infighting, they all believed in the healing properties of water, nutrition, exercise, the sun, and clean, fresh air. Their political activism was vital to their professional formation: they loathed the invasive, depletive practices of traditional medicine and protested against medical procedures that addressed symptoms rather than disease causes while resisting processed foods, pharmaceuticals, environmental toxins, and atomic energy. Cayleff describes the development of naturopathy’s philosophies and therapeutics and details the efforts of its proponents to institutionalize the field. She recognizes notable naturopathic leaders, explores why women doctors, organizers, teachers, and authors played such a strong role in the movement, and identifies countercultural views—such as antivivisection, antivaccination, and vegetarianism—held by idealistic naturopaths from 1896 to the present. Nature’s Path tracks a radical cultural critique, medical system, and way of life that links body, soul, mind, and daily purpose. It is a must-read for historians of medicine and scholars in women’s studies and political history, as well as for naturopaths and all readers interested in alternative medicine.
Download or read book Naturopathy for Beginners written by Dr. Romesh Kumar and published by Academic Guru Publishing House. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are about 80 nations where naturopathic medicine is being practiced. There are now jurisdictions in North America, India, Europe, and Latin America that have enacted statutory regulation of the naturopathic profession. Associations must actively support and strive for regulation in order to become full members of the WNF. In addition, they should encourage the maintenance and improvement of educational accreditation and standards. Both naturopathy and naturopathic medicine are under the umbrella of the naturopathic profession. Despite some differences in educational approaches and jurisdiction-specific regulation and restrictions, the global naturopathic workforce has unanimously identified an overall philosophical as well as traditional knowledge framework as well as a set of core therapeutic modalities and practices as the foundation to naturopathic practice. It entails studying the effects of medical therapies in addition to investigating lifestyle, social, environmental, external, and genetic variables. Traditional naturopathic evaluation procedures like tongue and pulse diagnosis sit alongside conventional physical exams and laboratory testing as instruments used by naturopaths and naturopathic physicians. However, due to educational and regulatory variations across nations, naturopaths/naturopathic doctors in different locations may conduct different types of diagnostic tests, provide patients with different naturopathic diagnoses, and employ different therapeutic modalities and practices.

Download or read book Naked written by Brian Hoffman and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1929, a small group of men and women threw off their clothes and began to exercise in a New York City gymnasium, marking the start of the American nudist movement. While countless Americans had long enjoyed the pleasures of skinny dipping or nude sunbathing, nudists were the first to organize a movement around the idea that exposing the body corrected the ills of modern society and produced profound benefits for the body as well as the mind. Despite hostility and skepticism, American nudists enlisted the support of health enthusiasts, homemakers, sex radicals, and even ministers, and in the process, redefined what could be seen, experienced, and consumed in twentieth-century America. Naked gives a vibrant, detailed account of the American nudist movement and the larger cultural phenomenon of public nudity in the United States. Brian S. Hoffman reflects on the idea of nakedness itself in the context of a culture that wrestles with an inherent sense of shame and conflicting moral attitudes about the body. In exploring the social and legal history of nudism, Hoffman reveals how anxieties about gender, race, sexuality, and age inform our conceptions of nakedness. The book traces the debates about distinguishing deviant sexualities from morally acceptable display, the legal processes that helped bring about the dramatic changes in sexuality in the 1960s and 1970s, as well as the explosion in eroticism that has increasingly defined the modern American consumer economy. Drawing on a colorful collection of nudist materials, films, and magazines, Naked exposes the social, cultural, and moral assumptions about nakedness and the body normally hidden from view and behind closed doors.

Download or read book Nature Cures written by James C. Whorton and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2004 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From reflexology and rolfing to shiatsu and dream work, we are confronted today by a welter of alternative medical therapies. But as James Whorton shows in Nature Cures, the recent explosion in alternative medicine actually reflects two centuries of competition and conflict between mainstream medicine and numerous unorthodox systems. This is the first comprehensive history of alternative medicine in America, examining the major systems that have emerged from 1800 to the present. Writing with wit and with fairness to all sides, Whorton offers a fascinating look at alternative health systems such as homeopathy, water cures, Mesmerism, Christian Science, osteopathy, chiropractic, naturopathy, and acupuncture. He highlights the birth and growth of each system (including European roots where appropriate) and vividly describes both the theories and the therapies developed within each system, including such dubious practices as hour-long walks barefoot in snow or Samuel Thompson's "puking and steaming" regimen. In particular, Whorton illuminates the philosophy of "natural healing" that has been espoused by alternative practitioners throughout history and the distinctive interpretations of "nature cure" developed by the different systems. Though he doesn't hesitate to point out the failings of these systems, he also shows that some "cult medicines" have eventually won recognition from practitioners of mainstream medicine. Throughout, Whorton writes with a light touch and quotes from contemporary humorists such as Mark Twain. His book is an engaging and authoritative history that highlights the course of alternative medicine in the U.S., providing valuable background to the wide range of therapies available today.
