The document discusses innate healing from philosophical, physiological, cellular, and psychological perspectives. Physiologically, innate healing is known as innate immunity, which includes physical barriers like skin, mucous membranes, and cilia. The innate immune system also contains cells and proteins that fight pathogens. Cellular aspects of innate healing involve phagocytosis, inflammation, cellular adaptation, and cell death. These processes help clear pathogens and promote healing. Psychologically, the mind employs defense mechanisms unconsciously to reduce anxiety and maintain homeostasis. Innate healing aims to reconnect the body with its inherent self-healing abilities.

2. WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND BY HEALING ?

3. HEALING MEANS
• The dictionary [Cambridge, Oxford] meaning of healing means - Helping
to make someone well again, esp. after injury
• Also psychologically healing refers to the process by which neuroses or
psychoses are resolved to the degree that leads to normal existence of a
being.[APA]
• According to various studies :

5. THEORY OF VITALITY
• Vitality is the innate healing force or self curative force within us.
• It preserves & promotes health
• It prevents and cures diseases
• As we violate ways of natural living, the innate healing mechanism, get
weakened, leading to poor health.
• Revitalising the vital force & strengthening it to restore the self-healing
mechanism of the body are primary steps in nature cure
“Neo Naturopathy”: the New Science of Healing by Louis Kuhne
Benedict Lust - Doctrine of unity of diseases

6. VITAL FORCE
• Vital force or life energy is a manifestation of the measurelessness powers of all
forms of subconsciousness & cosmic consciousness.
• Vital energy/prana is the element of life & the process of circulation of vital energy
is very important.
• As vital energy flows within living organism and help to maintain balance in
physiologically, physically, mentally & emotionally.
• Healing depends on “how much vital nerve energy we have”
• balance of vital energy is must = health

7. THEORY OF SELF- HEALING/ MEDICATRIX NATURAE
• Body has an elaborate healing mechanism that strives to maintain & restore
optimal health.
• This power is an intrinsic part of our being and makes the body capable of self-
healing.
• Adequate rest, which includes physical, physiological, mental, emotional and
sensory rest
• Curative forces carry out the restorative & regenerative processes.
• Naturopathy helps to reconnect with innate healer & the treatment process is
the way to create a conducive environment ideal for self-healing.

8. VITAL ECONOMY
How to prevent loss of energy How to accumulate more energy

9. PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPT OF INNATE
HEALING IN REFERENCE TO MODERN
CONCEPT
• Vital force - efficiency of digestive system & lungs to create energy, blood &
tissue
• Vital essence - balance & harmony of endocrine & neuroendocrine system
• Vital spirit - Strength & connection of spiritual energy within & throughout
• Vital economy - Energy expenditure =energy conserved by the body

10. TYPES OF HEALING
• Healing in human body can be done by 2 means or ways depending on
physiological or pathological demand of the body:
• Regeneration
• Repair

11. LEVELS OF HEALING
• Healing in the either
(repair/regeneration) form
occur in the body at certain
levels.
• Physical or mechanical
• Mental or psychological
• Physiological

12. IMMUNITY ?
• Innate/ non- specific
• Adaptive/specific

15. PHYSICAL ASPECT OF
INNATE HEALING

16. • Philosophically - Vitality, vital force etc.
• Physiologically is known as innate immunity or inborn healing capacity
of the body.
• Physical or mechanical innate immunity consists of skin[tight skin
junction], epithelial, mucous membrane, Cilia.

18. Mucosa- and Skin-Associated Lymphoid
Tissues
The diffuse system of lymphoid tissues that
protect mucosal surfaces lining the
digestive, respiratory, and urogenital
systems is collectively known as MALT
(mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue).
Tissue within the MALT that guards a
particular region of the body may be further
categorized. For example, BALT (bronchi-
associated lymphoid tissue) and NALT
(nasopharynx-associated lymphoid tissue)
together defend the air passages from
foreign attack. GALT (gut-associated
lymphoid tissue) protects the gastrointestinal
tract. SALT is the diffuse collection of
immune cells that protect the skin.

• Role in homeostatic, provides cytokines
• Also have role in neuromodulation which gets stimulated in

• Differentiation or transdifferentiation of human urine derived cells can
generate desirable cells for regenerative therapy
• Easy, cost effective, non invasive kind of donor based cells helps:
• Renal reconstruction/kidney bioengineering[good replacement for
epithelial, endothelial & proximal tubule cells which reduces
inflammation & tubular injury by releasing cyokine& growth factor in
turns increases vascularisation by angiogenesis]
• genitourinary repair[as endothelial cells have been known to treat
even end age of bladder disease]
• cardiac repair[induced pluripotent cell,embroyonic stem cell as urine
stem cell have proved to generate mesoderm, endoderm & ectoderm
cells]
• liver reconstruction[renal cells have high expression of the endoderm
marker Sox-17 responsible thyroid, liver, pancreas cells development]
• diabetes treatment [conversion into insulin secreting beta cells]
• neurogeneration[provide functional neurons, esp. dopaminergic which
can help in PD]
• bone engineering[due to proliferative, self-renewal, differentiate

Fever: a concept
analysis
Now since past 20 year fever is taken as- acute phase response
Fever is an adaptive, coordinated & systemic response to an immune
stimulus, is a self limiting response in which thermoregulatory control
remains intact & generally requires no treatment.
Misconception about fever Facts
Fevers is a cause of illness Fever is a response to illness
Fever is maladaptive Is an adaptive systemic response to immune stimuli
Fever is solely an increased body temp.
Part of coordinated acute phase response of body including
autonomic, behavioural & neuroendocrine responses
Absolute temp. To define fever (usually 100.4 degree F)
No universal temp. Is defined as is based on individuals
normal diurnal body temp.
Fever requires medical/nursing intervention to prevent
negative consequences
Fever is self-limiting & generally requires no intervention

Encourage inflammation
Local redness, swelling, heat, pain, loss of function
Depending on nature & infecting pathogen (no. of leucocytes [mainly neutrophils] arrive at site)
Both macrophage & dendritic cells engulf pathogen & cellular debris through phagocytosis
Neutrophils have 2-5 lobes with nucleus & lysosomes. Lysosomes engulf pathogen
Movement of leucocytes & fluid through increasingly permeable capillaries to infection site
Eosinophils (kind of leukocyte) act in allergic response, surrounds parasite & provide protection

adaptation to
Mechanical
forces in
atherosclerosis
• Pressurised vascular system is an efficient, evolutionary to
circulate blood at cell or tissue level to increase metabolic output
• Mechanical pressure is generally required even in normal
conditions of CVS functioning to promote homeostasis
• Adaptive responses leads to disturbed flow later, gene
expression, matrix remodelling further contributes to
inflammatory pathways
• These events synergise with systemic risk factors (smoking,
diabetes)leading to progression of disease

41. • Mechanistic view of mind - Sigmund freud [earlier k/a the neuro-psychoses of defense]
• Unconscious mental processes employee by the ego to reduce anxiety.
• He defined defense as “in order to ward off unacceptable ideas or feelings that would cause “distressing
effect”, a person unconsciously resorts to certain mental processes that oppose these ideas or feelings and
render them less disturbing. This mental process, which take place outside the person’s awareness is called
defenses.
• Why ? Without defense mechanism people cannot live together it will be a mess if everyone will follow ones
instinctual drive.
• Also it protect our whole society & ego (upto certain level in normal condition) from some displeasure
• Also human biocultural behaviour results in healing behaviour. Which involves 1.emotional distress has
evolutionary origin 2.regulation of emotion evolved within a social context 3. There are motivators &
mechanisms of interpersonal regulation of emotion that results in consoling behaviour.
