Natural medicine refers to health practices that use natural substances and therapies to promote healing and well-being. This approach often includes the use of herbs, plants, and other natural products, as well as techniques like acupuncture and massage. Natural medicine aims to treat the whole person rather than just specific symptoms. Many people turn to natural medicine as a complementary option alongside conventional treatments. It emphasizes prevention and the body's ability to heal itself. Practitioners may include herbalists, naturopaths, and traditional healers, who often focus on lifestyle changes, nutrition, and holistic care to support overall health.
