It cannot be denied that living beings in general and humans in particular have an extraordinary ability to heal their wounds in the shortest possible time. In other words, a person's overall system naturally promotes self-cleaning, self-repair and, consequently, self-healing. Scientists have shown that paying attention to the body's nine fundamental systems, including circulation, digestion, respiration, intestines, urine, glands, neurons, structure, and the immune system, plays a key role in enhancing this healing process (Balcu 209). Once these constitutional systems are brought under control, patients will have less difficulty treating illnesses as well as healing illnesses. Overall, achieving and maintaining biological balance is the answer for anyone who wants to have a healthy internal system. And complementary and alternative medicine, considered the most productive approach in the humanistic history of medicine, can help humans achieve that balance. Incorporating the non-medical philosophy of self-healing and wellness mentioned above, complementary and alternative medicine has developed its holistic approach to the human body, a method in which the cure for a specific disease condition is applied to the whole body rather than just to a certain separate symptom. Naturopathy, for example, a specific branch of CAM, takes into account the biomechanics and also the emotional predispositions of the patient to help him rebuild the original balance.
