The field of natural medicine refers to a branch of healthcare that focuses on using natural remedies and therapies to promote healing, prevent illness, and maintain overall well-being. This approach encompasses various forms of alternative medicine such as herbalism, acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), among others.

Practitioners in this field believe that by utilizing natural methods, they can help patients achieve optimal health and vitality without causing harmful side effects.
