Natural Healing is an art, and not an easy feat in today's fast food society that has us eating foods that are over-cooked, over-processed, hormone injected, and loaded with antibiotics. In order to give the body what it needs we have to be very cautious of what we eat and follow extremely strict diets, which includes organically grown, raw vegetables. Getting back to our roots of food fresh from the earth is the key principle of Natural Healing. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done and supplementation is a necessity. There are some other art forms of Natural Healing such as, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Herbal Medicine, and Homeopathy. Again, all forms of Natural Healing are centered on restoring the body to its natural state.
