Naturopathy was the earliest known healing system. Foods,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], water, and whole herbs were used by many cultures for a wide range of problems before surgery and the synthetic isolation of chemical substances. Many cultures used a variety of naturopathic therapies, ranging from kelp for thyroid health (Chinese), liver for night blindness (Egyptians), and various herbs to promote healing (Native Americans and most others). Is there any wonder that there are still many who make naturopathy an integral part of their lives?
Naturopathy, according to Benedict Lust, is a distinct school of healing, employing the beneficial agency of Nature’s forces of water, air, sunlight, earth power, electricity, magnetism, exercise, rest, proper diet, various kinds of mechanical treatment, and mental and moral science. Furthermore, because none of the aforementioned agents of rejuvenation can cure every disease by itself, the naturopath employs the combination that is best adapted to each individual case. The objective of naturopathy is to remove foreign or poisonous matter from the system, allowing the restoration of nerve and blood vitality, the invigoration of organs and tissues, and the regeneration of the entire organism. Examples of some therapies that fall under the purview of naturopathy are iridology, kinesiology, reflexology, acupressure, and the like.
In the United States,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the term naturopathy is posited to have been coined by Dr. John Schell in 1895, describing his approach to health. There are presently two primary views of naturopathy with respective different agendas. The first view is that naturopaths should be licensed as physicians and are a type of medical doctor who uses herbs, homeopathy, manipulation, nutrition, isolates, counseling, prescription medications, injections, and sometimes minor surgery. This view tends to be one shared by those endeavoring to require a medical degree of some sort for one to be a naturopath. The second view purports that naturopathy is in the public domain and that its practitioners are not medical doctors and should employ only those modalities that are natural, and should not perform surgery or write prescriptions. This latter view I share in as much as it describes something that provides an alternative to traditional medicine by practice and definition. It is an oxymoron for a naturopath to perform surgery.
This article focuses on alternative medicine therapies: what they are, why they are, and what difference that should make to you and yours. There might be some who do not know much about naturopathy and the alternative medicine therapies it employs. Wisdom dictates that you contact your physician before trying any of the therapies discussed herein. This article will lay a good foundation for future interactions with alternative medicine.

I want this to be a fun journey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but certain basics must be known first, so buckle your seat belt.
What most people have forgotten or do not know is that the original naturopaths were medical doctors8 dissatisfied with the medical options available to them, and others were straight naturopaths, using only natural modalities, and naturopaths who were medical doctors. There are still medical doctors who incorporate some form of naturopathy in their recommendations to their patients, especially in the area of stress management and nutrition. A medical degree, however, is not a prerequisite to being a naturopath and should not be.
Water is the most ancient of all remedial agents for disease. Among the Spartans of ancient Greece, cold bathing was made obligatory by law. Hippocrates directed that cold baths should be of short duration and should be preceded and followed by friction―that after a cold
What follows is an overview of water, air, iridology, kinesiology, and two kinds of naturopathic manipulation: reflexology and acupressure.
