Naturopathy
Also known as Naturopathic Medicine. Naturopathy
is a system of therapy which relies exclusively on natural substances and remedies, such as sunlight
supplemented with diet and massage, to treat the sick. It incorporates many
therapeutic modalities: herbal medicine, homeopathy, nutrition,
hydrotherapy, food, exercise therapy, physical therapy, manipulation of the
bony and soft tissues, lifestyle and counseling. Additionally, some
Naturopaths elect to continue their education to receive a license to
practice natural childbirth.
The term Naturopathy was coined in 1895,
but this type of medicine have been practiced for hundreds, if not thousands
of years. In the mid and late 1800s, the standard medical schools in the
United States taught herbal, homeopathic, and nutritional medicine along
with surgery and other more conventional types of treatment.
The basis of Naturopathic Medicine is the belief on the
"healing power of nature." It profess that within every human organism there
is a healing energy, which includes our immune system in the fuller sense of
both the physical and the psyche, which is responsible for our wellness and
our ability to heal and maintain health. It also asserts that the therapies
used to support and stimulate this healing power of nature must be in the
gentlest, least invasive, most efficient manner possible, and that
practicing Naturopaths should not simply treat the manifestation of the
disease but rather search for the cause and treat it.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate

bandwidth that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
