What Is Natural Medicine?

Natural medicine is an umbrella term that includes holistic medicine, and alternative or complimentary medicine. It may be defined simply as a system which aims to use nature to assist people to heal.
Natural Medicine Doctors include those that have undertaken additional training in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine.

Nutritional and Environmental Medicine is the study of the interactions of both nutritional and environmental factors on the human body and the clinical application of these interactions in the optimisation of health and the prevention and treatment of disease. This may involve the removal of certain foods or chemicals from the patient's environment, the use of rotation diets and the provision of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids or other nutritional supplements. Excesses or deficiencies of any nutrient or the presence of basic chemicals or electromagnetic radiation can result in cellular dysfunction and illness.
