Read more →Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between naturopathy and Ayurveda?
Naturopathy is a Western approach that uses nutrition, herbal medicine and lifestyle adjustments to stimulate self-healing. Ayurveda, a traditional Indian medicine recognized by the WHO, is based on balancing the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) and offers personalized treatments including diet, herbs, yoga and purification techniques like Panchakarma.
Are natural medicines recognized by the WHO?
Yes. The WHO officially recognizes Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and naturopathy as traditional medicine systems. While these practices are not regulated like conventional medicine in most Western countries, they can complement standard healthcare. Always consult your primary care physician alongside natural medicine practitioners.
Can you combine conventional and natural medicine?
Yes, and it is recommended in an integrative approach. The key is to inform each practitioner about all treatments to avoid interactions. For example, some herbs (St. John's Wort, Ginkgo Biloba) interact with common medications. A qualified practitioner will adapt their recommendations to your complete medical situation.
How do you choose a natural medicine practitioner?
Check their training (accredited school, certification), experience and specialty. A good practitioner will never ask you to stop medical treatment. They should ask detailed questions about your health history and current treatments. On VHealthy, our practitioners are rigorously vetted and their qualifications verified.
