Philosophy of Natural Therapeutics: The classic nature core guide to health and healing

by Henry Lindlahr M.D., Jocelyn Proby (Revision)

Originating in Europe in the early twentieth century, the Nature Cure movement laid the foundations for much of complementary medicine and naturopathy as we know it today. Dr Henry Lindlahr was one of the pioneers of Nature Cure who popularised the movement in the West. Eloquent and passionate about his theories, in this ground-breaking book Dr Lindlahr outlines the principles and practical applications of Nature Cure, to create a comprehensive philosophy of natural therapeutics. He considers the role of diet, natural remedies and preventative therapies as well as other practical ways to maintain and promote physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Philosophy of Natural Therapeutics is in many respects a work that remains as relevant today as when it was written. Well ahead of its time, it highlights the interdependency of humankind, offers methods to prevent disease, and lays down the basic natural laws upon which health depends.

Makes a lot of sense that God created our bodies to heal themselves if we just take care of them.

First textbook for my ACAN course. Finally finished reading this! Lot's of good information and it's surprising how much of it is still relavent considering this was written almost 100 years ago. Due to that, however, it can be a little difficult to get through. Especially when you're trying to absorb the information and take notes so you can write a paper on it.

1990 first time. Amazing but difficult to get through, very deep!
