Nature Cure: Healing in Harmony with Life
At Herbs & Hands Craniosacral Therapy, Dr. Currey embraces the principles of Nature Cure — the pillar that shapes her approach to health and wellness. Understanding these foundations can illuminate why natural healing is not only effective but also enduring.
What is Nature Cure?
Nature Cure is a holistic approach to healing that supports the body's innate wisdom and ability to restore balance. Think sunlight, fresh air, water, a wholesome diet, restful sleep, supportive relationships, a sense of purpose, and the gentle movement of the body. Rather than band-aiding symptoms, Nature Cure listens to the signals of the body and supports its return towards wellness. It is medicine inspired by the rhythms of the earth and the mind-body-spirit connection.
This approach incorporates therapies such as hydrotherapy, herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, and CranioSacral therapy. The philosophy is simple yet powerful: the body knows best how to heal when given the right support, and when we listen and follow its clues, the treatment plan is revealed.
The Vitalistic Philosophy at the Heart of Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is built on the belief that health originates from a vital life force — an energy that flows through every living being. This energy animates the body and coordinates its functions. When the vital force is strong and flowing freely, the body remains healthy and resilient. When it is blocked or weakened, illness may take hold.
This vital force is not just a mystical concept; it is a tangible reality evidenced by the body’s capacity to self-regulate and repair. Naturopathy works to nourish and support this life force through gentle, non-invasive treatments that encourage balance rather than suppress symptoms.
Dr. Currey weaves vitalism into modern therapies.
Herbs - Herbal medicine honors the body's innate wisdom and vitality, using plants to support and enhance natural healing processes for whole-person wellness. It pairs the dynamic energy within both herbs and individuals to restore balance and vitality. Lifestyle medicine, a modern interpretation of naturopathy based on empirical and scientific knowledge, utilizes nutrition, movement, sleep, connection, stress management, and the avoidance of harmful substances and situations to support the vital force.
Hands - CranioSacral Therapy: By following the craniosacral rhythm and supporting its expression, Dr. Currey helps to clear physical and energetic blockages, inviting the body’s life force to flow unhindered.
The Dance of Healing
Healing with Naturopathy is a dance between practitioner and patient. It invites curiosity, self-awareness, and active participation. Your body is not just a problem to fix, but a physical expression of you, just as much as your self-identity. When you listen closely and provide what is needed — whether that’s a moment of stillness, hands-on support, or a blend of nourishing herbs — wellness through mind-body-spirit connection naturally blooms.
Embrace the Power of Natural Vitality
In a world often rushed and symptom-focused, Naturopathic Medicine offers a refreshing invitation: to slow down, connect with nature’s wisdom, and trust in the remarkable vitality within you. At Herbs & Hands, we celebrate this journey with every patient, nurturing health at the root rather than the branches.
Let your body’s natural intelligence guide your way to vibrant, joyful living — because true healing is nature’s gift, made possible by honoring the vital life force that makes you uniquely you.
