Natural health means letting your body function as it was intended to, without doing things that just get in the way of the natural processes. The body is a wonderful creation, it's design very complex, and in so many cases, has the capacity to completely heal itself, if allowed to.
Believe it or not, illnesses happen when there is an imbalance in the body. Imbalance in the body includes not having enough vitamins, lack of vital minerals, too many or not enough hormones, or some other area that is not in balance. The main function of the body is to keep us in a constant state of equilibrium, called homeostasis, and many elaborate biological processes exist to attain that.
I'm definitely not saying that modern science is not doing its part in healing people. However, even doctors nowadays are learning about holistic medicine and alternative therapies. They are now recognizing the power of the body's built-in defense and healing mechanisms.
Natural health does not simply mean eating whole foods or using certain products. It should be a lifestyle, it should be reflected in the way you live your life. When you are naturally healthy, you feel joyful and happy, and you don't worry about or fear death. Your life revolves around eating healthy foods, a positive outlook, regular exercise, and the right way of dealing with stress so it never bothers you.
Naturopathic doctors, who are advocates of getting healthy the most natural way as possible, focus on finding the core reasons for diseases. Treatments that support the body's natural capability to heal itself are being used. They take into account all factors that may influence the body, and they have a holistic approach to healing the body. The mind, body and spirit is being considered because when any of these areas are weak or ill, it affects the others.
As medicines and medical care become less affordable, more people are turning to alternative medicine to cure their illnesses. They are using homeopathic treatments for most minor ailments, and are going back to using herbal remedies. Alternative therapies include massage, aromatherapy, acupuncture, and meditation. These therapies can lead to a harmonious life of natural health.
It seems like the more we become technologically advanced, the more we veer away from anything natural, including our health. We eat too many foods containing more chemicals than nutrients (which food group are Pop-tarts part of, anyway?), and majority of what we drink are simply chemicals in liquid form. We can't even exercise naturally anymore, and need to have special equipments housed in special buildings to give us a place to 'go and exercise'.
All the programs I create have this at their core, the natural element. You can find relief from many common problems without pills or surgery, which seems to be, for many traditional physicians, their only two choices. Take a hard look at the life you lead. Take a long look at your body and the state of health it's in. How far away from natural health have you strayed?
