This type of therapy, which helps the body heal itself using natural means, such as bathing a sprain, or fast when you are not going well, always existed. They structure the nineteenth century, however, around five main bases: Young, treatment regimens, hydrotherapy, exercise and psychological counseling. In the twentieth century, Pierre Valentin Marchesseau, French father of naturopathy, has consolidated all the previous work. In Germany today it is mostly practiced in spas and the "heilpraktiker (paramedic recognized by the Ministry of Health). In France, the profession is poorly organized and contested.
Principle: The naturopathy, strives to restore your self-healing capacity wasted by pollution and stress of the industrial world, three major approaches: food hygiene, physiological (that of exercise and eliminations natural) and neuropsychological. When these technical background can be properly implemented because of professional or family context, the naturopath uses in addition a minor technical nature: hydrology (care by water), manual techniques (relaxing massages ...) , techniques reflexes (At the foot of the ear), herbal medicine, psychotherapy, magnetic techniques and finally breathing techniques (borrowed from yoga, qi gong. Gymnasts sweet).
indications : Naturopaths are interested in the topic as a whole, indicating the form of healthy living that suit them best. This approach to health may be effective for chronic ailments such as insomnia, rheumatism, allergies, spasms, and is an auxiliary interest in certain degenerative diseases such as arthritis, neurological diseases. But do naturotherapy not treat serious diseases. Moreover, if the patient is in a great state of exhaustion, it will be ineffective and can not wake her ability to heal.
The first session : The naturopath questions you about your lifestyle, your troubles and your personal history (emotional problems, work), it takes your pulse (the pulse of China), review your constitution and uses iridology, or check-ups conducted in the laboratory. All these elements enable them to assess your supply and your critical loads (food, uric acid). It draws up your hygiene program vital that includes a period of detoxification (mono-diet, diet, cure drainage) supplemented by a phase of revitalization (optimum nutrition, vitamins, food supplements, rest, sunshine, positive thinking).

Subsequently, many researchers have studied the basic micronutrients that are needed in the body in the right proportions to prevent and fight disease. Orthomolecular medicine (from Orthon just) and was born in the USA, where it has ceased to grow.
It reached Europe and became known as "nutritional medicine" in England and "nutritional therapy" France.
Principle: This new discipline notice that our food choices are not always
suited to our needs and our present no longer bring food to the body essential nutrients in sufficient quantity. This especially as tractors, elevators, washing machines, etc. ... resulted in a saving of labor that led us to reduce by nearly half our caloric needs in 100 years.
The nutritherapy fills the gaps in providing these basic nutrients Nutrition: vitamins, trace elements, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids, called "essential" form of additional natural or synthetic, and dietary advice.
Indications: They are very broad, because deficits in these vital elements can cause problems, some of which are common (fatigue, nervousness, insomnia, spasms, hair loss), and other more severe (lower immune depression, but also increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cataracts, cancer).

handout: nutrients are freely available, but are best used after consulting a physician practicing nutritional therapy, because there are balances to meet:
- certain minerals should be given only in certain forms to be well absorbed.
- Excessive intake of certain vitamins (A, D) may be harmful.
- Nutrients are mutually incompatible, such as iron and vitamin C.
practitioners are physicians who have received training in nutrition therapy, a discipline that has not yet been integrated into university curricula.
