Naturopathy is a holistic approach that uses natural remedies like herbal supplements, massage, acupuncture, and spinal manipulation as alternatives or additions to conventional medicine. It originated in the United States in the early 1900s, though some of the treatments it incorporates, like herbalism, have much older histories. Massage is shown to help cancer patients cope with their illness and treatments by decreasing pain, stress, and anxiety and promoting trust. Acupuncture also originated thousands of years ago in China and works according to the Yin-Yang theory to restore balance through over 2000 vital points on the body. It is growing in popularity as an insurance-covered pain management alternative to narcotics.
