Abstract

Naturopatik tıp sağlığın teşviki, geliştirilmesi ve hastalığın önlenmesi yoluyla sağlığının geliştirilmesine odaklanarak hastanın mevcut durumunu etkileyen faktörleri belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Tamamlayıcı ve alternatif yöntemler arasından farklı tedavi modaliteleri kullanılarak, sağlığı iyileştirme ve sürdürme yeteneğini geliştirmede en az zararlı ve en etkili yaklaşımlar, kişiselleştirilmiş kanıta dayalı tedaviler doğrultusunda sunulmaktadır. Naturopatinin altı temel ilkesi vardır. Bunlar; ilk olarak zarar vermeme, doğanın iyileşme gücü, nedenleri belirleme ve tedavi etme, öğretme, kişiyi bir bütün olarak tedavi etme ve önlemedir. Gözlemsel uygulama sonuçları ve klinik araştırma verileri kardiyovasküler risk, hipertansiyon, depresyon, anksiye-te, bel ağrısı ve tip 2 diyabet dahil olmak üzere çoklu yüksek morbiditeye sahip kronik sağlık durumlarında naturopatinin etkili olduğunu bildirmektedir. Ayrıca çeşitli kronik hastalıklarda hasta davranışını değiştirmenin hastaların prognoz seyrini etkileyebildiği bildirilmektedir. Naturopatik yaklaşımlar hem geleneksel hem de yenilikçi bir yaklaşım olmakla birlikte bu yaklaşımların kullanıldığı geniş kapsamlı deneysel çalışmaların bulunmaması nedeni ile çok sınırlı kanıtların olduğu görül-mektedir. Bu makalenin amacı kronik hastalıkların yönetiminde tamamlayıcı bir yaklaşım olan naturopati hakkında far-kındalık oluşturmaktır.

Naturopathy in the Management of Chronic Diseases

Abstract

Naturopathic medicine aims to identify factors that affect the patient's current state, with a focus on improving health thro-ugh health promotion, promotion, and disease prevention. By using different treatment modalities among complementary and alternative methods, the least harmful and most effective approaches in improving the ability to improve and maintain health are presented in line with personalized evidence-based treatments. There are six basic principles of naturopathy. These; first of all, do no harm, the healing power of nature, identifying and treating causes, teaching, treating and preventing the per-son as a whole. Observational practice results and clinical trial data report the efficacy of naturopathy in multiple chronic health conditions with high morbidity, including cardiovascular risk, hypertension, depression, anxiety, low back pain, and type 2 diabetes. In addition, it has been reported that changing patient behavior in various chronic diseases may affect the prognosis of patients. Although naturopathic approaches are both traditional and innovative approaches, there seems to be very limited evidence due to the lack of extensive experimental studies using these approaches. The aim of this article is to raise awareness about naturopathy, which is a complementary approach in the management of chronic diseases.
