Excerpt from the book:
“A therapy is considered natural if it relies more on your body’s innate poser to heal itself than on invasive interventions such as drugs and surgery. Some natural therapies, like acupuncture, are consided conventional in non-Western countries such as china. Others, like herbal medicine, are practiced widely in one form or the other in nearly every culture of the globe. In this country, however, natural therapies are variously referred to as unconventional, alternative, complementary or unorthodox.”
