History

 

Dr _._ Benedict_Lust

Naturopathy has its beginnings with the beginning of the healing arts, when primitive man began to use the four elements of nature (earth, air, fire and water) for the benefit of his own health and the health of those around him. . Over the centuries these primitive techniques have grown and developed. The origin of modern naturopathy dates back to the use of natural healing methods in the 18th and 19th centuries . These methods included hydrotherapy , very popular in Germany at that time, and natural cure, developed in Austria and based on the use of food, air, light, water and different herbs to treat diseases. The German Benedict Lusthe was the one who first used the term Naturopathy when he founded in New York , in 1902, The American School of Naturophaty. The school instructed in the use of natural remedies, good eating habits and correct hygiene, as tools to maintain and / or improve health. It was at this time that the principles of a healthy diet, ie fiber intake and reduction of saturated fat, were first highlighted.

Subsequently, the use of naturopathic techniques declined between the 20s and 40s of the last century, but, in the 60s, it resurfaced strongly and reached high levels of popularity. Currently, Naturopathy is a regulated profession in most of the countries and offers a wide variety of natural techniques or natural therapy, among which we can find Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Reiki, vitamin and mineral supplements , Traditional Medicine China, [[Relaxation techniques, medicinal plants, etc. Many of these naturopathic techniques are applied and taught at the Shalom Center. Naturopathy teaches us how to select and how to use harmless elements existing in nature and also how to know and discard the elements that are harmful to health, as well as to understand and abide by its laws to achieve the appropriate balance, physical, mental and spiritual of our body, for as long as possible in our life.

The main task of the naturopath is to activate the internal self-healing system and force that each person possesses. The naturopath does not try to fight diseases, but rather proposes to make the means and forms of human life more natural. Its main task is to eliminate harmful and harmful substances (toxins, waste, etc.) from the body and contribute to the provision of useful and healthy substances (vitamins, minerals, nutrients, etc.). One of the main pillars of Naturopathy is that of organic unity that considers the body as a single organ and treats it as such, as a unit, a vision known as holistic. Another of his propositions is that there are no diseases, but sick people, that is, there are people more predisposed to suffer from diseases than others because they have a more fragile immune system,
