Natural Health Involves Doing What Works, Without Always Knowing How They Work

The entire philosophy of natural health and healing contains some core principles. One of them entails doing and using what works, without always knowing how or why they work, and this is discussed in the following article I first wrote and published on another website in 2008.

Natural Health Principle No. 8 – How Holistic Healing Works – applying the methods, sometimes without knowing how

Natural health and healing is not overly concerned with how holistic healing works, as long as the principles and methods behind it are properly applied and the positive results follow.

Modern science and medicine, as well as modern man, almost always wants to know HOW things work. This applies even beyond healthcare.

Thus, to prove something works, there must be carefully designed scientific experiments and double-blind studies.

Why natural health and healing is not always proven

In my opinion, we have gone overboard with our need for “scientific” proof or knowledge.

Why? Firstly, many things in life are just based on simple common sense. Some cannot be proven, while for many, there is no need to prove anything.

Do you need scientific proof to tell you that having a lifetime partner is better than being alone, before deciding to get married? Do you need science to tell you that it is better and more fun to laugh than to cry? Or do you need research to prove that sleep is nice and restful? Or that love feels good? I highly doubt so.

For centuries, even millennia, Man has been reaping the effects of traditional healing methods, without always knowing exactly how holistic healing works.

As with elsewhere on this website, I again bring up the example of planting trees. We don’t need to know how a seed turns into a tree. We just need to make sure the right conditions (e.g. sunlight, water, etc) are in place, sow the seed, and the Nature or God-designed processes would take over.

That’s pretty much exactly how holistic healing works.
