It is impossible to deny the fact that living beings in general and human beings in particular have an extraordinary ability to heal their wounds in the shortest possible time. In other words, a person's overall system naturally promotes self-cleansing, self-repair, and, therefore, self-healing. Scientists have proven that paying attention to the body's nine fundamental systems, including circulation, digestion, respiration, intestine, urine, glands, neurons, structure and immune system, plays a key role in improving this healing process (Balcu 209). Once these constitutional systems are mastered, patients will have less difficulty in curing illnesses as well as in healing. In general, achieving and maintaining biological balance is the answer for anyone who desires a healthy internal system. And complementary and alternative medicine, considered the most productive approach in the humanistic history of medicine, can help humans achieve this balance. Understanding the non-medical philosophy of self-healing and wellness mentioned above, complementary and alternative medicine has developed its holistic approach to the human body, a method in which a remedy for a specific illness is applied to the body. whole body rather than just one separate symptom. For example, naturopathy, a specific branch of traditional Chinese medicine, takes into account the patient's biomechanics, even their emotional predispositions, in order to help them rebuild their original balance. Instead of prohibiting therapies and other medical applications as conventional medicine usually does, this alternative holistic medicine promotes a healthy lifestyle by establishing certain rules that allow bodies to use their health...... middle of paper......doctors. 2010.
