Practice of Naturopathic Medicine: In Their Own Words

Practice of Naturopathic Medicine, the fifth of a twelve volume series entitled The Hevert Collection: In Their Own Words, provides a rich sampling of therapies that the early pioneering Naturopaths used to guide their patients to renewed and sustainable health. These articles, chosen from Benedict Lust publications spanning 1899 to1923, demonstrate the eclectic scope of their vision and celebrate what was possible therapeutically when using essentially what Nature provided: air, water, sun, earth, diet, exercise and breathing. These core elements of naturopathic medicine never failed to be the mainstay of the armamentarium of early Naturopaths as they introduced new methods alongside the old.

When we have confidence in the healing power of Nature and when we rediscover the profound value of Nature's bounty, our practice accumulates case histories with stunning results. As you read these accounts of naturopathic practice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reproduced here "in their own words", remember to grasp the passion and earnest desire of these early Naturopaths to choose, above all else, the bounty of Nature--earth, air, water, nutrition--as the platform for their treatments. In Practice of Naturopathic Medicine we encounter our naturopathic elders with a professional intimacy that familiarizes us with the therapies they used to counter disease. Re-entering their world gives us pause to marvel at their heroic efforts to bring health to all of their patients. Their words teach us; they are rich pearls for us to this very day. Richly illustrated.
