What Is Naturopathic Therapy?
Naturopathic medicine is a system that uses natural remedies to help the body heal by using many holistic treatments, including herbs, acupuncture, massage therapy, exercise, vitamin therapy, yoga, tai chi, and nutritional counseling. As a holistic system, it aims to find the cause of disease by understanding a person’s body, mind, and spirit. Naturopathic and holistic therapies focus on supporting the body’s own healing abilities and empowering people to make adequate lifestyle changes for the best health possible.

6 Naturopathic Therapies for Treating Addiction
A combination of clinical and holistic approaches to drug rehab can significantly improve a person’s ability to recover from drug and alcohol abuse and process addictions fully. Naturopathic medicine can help drug and alcohol addiction by getting to the root of it and helping the person heal from the physical, emotional, and spiritual damages of drug addiction. Holistic therapies are also beneficial in easing withdrawal symptoms and reducing the risk of relapse. Some holistic therapies used in treating addiction include:
Acupuncture
Acupuncture therapy can help ease aches and pains and symptoms of co-occurring disorders such as bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, and depression, which can also be a powerful tool in dual diagnosis programs.
Massage therapy
Massage is helpful in drug and alcohol detox and rehab to reduce aches and pain, relieve stress, and reduce the tension that comes up during drug addiction treatment.
Yoga and Tai Chi
As both meditation therapy and exercise therapy, yoga and tai chi has helped many in recovery ease pain and work on mindfulness and symptoms of mental illness associated with alcohol and drug abuse.
Exercise and Fitness therapy
Exercise is essential to addiction recovery because it can help regulate neurotransmitters, strengthen the body, reduce stress, and help build new healthy behaviors.
Nutrition Therapy
Those who struggle with drug addiction often struggle with nutritional deficiencies as well. Nutrition therapy can be a vital component of helping to rebuild health systems and introduce a new way of healthy living in addiction recovery.
Homeopathy
Several homeopathic remedies can ease withdrawal symptoms and mental illness symptoms associated with substance abuse, which can be especially beneficial in pregnant women who cannot take some harsher medication-assisted treatment drugs.
