Spiritual Healing, Homeopathy & Naturopathy

Page last modified on: July 3, 2008

Spiritual healing

Healing and prayer may help make the side effects of many medications, including chemotherapy, less intense. Some women who receive healing therapy along with their chemotherapy have far less severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, and other side effects.

Spiritual healing basics:

  • A healer uses hand contact and focused thought as healing tools.
  • The strength of the effect may be attributed to a connection with nature, God, or other higher powers.
  • It is based on the belief that self-healing powers exist in all of us.

Therapeutic touch is similar to spiritual healing.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy uses extremely weak solutions of plants, minerals, and other substances to help the body fight illness.

Its basic philosophy aims to get the body to heal itself, through the use of only one remedy.

Naturopathy

Naturopathy is also centered on a belief that the body can heal itself. It takes a holistic approach, treating not just symptoms but the whole person.

This method combines nutrition, homeopathy, massage, fitness, and other techniques.
