Naturology

The Naturology is a profession in the health area that uses natural methods (traditional and modern) of care, with the purport of promotion, maintenance and recovery of health, improvement of life quality and the balance of the human being with the environment.

To develop his particular work of Natural Treatment, the Naturologist learn different integral views of Traditional Medicines (Chinese, Ayurveda and Shamanism) and Anthroposophy; human sciences as Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology; biological sciences as Biology, Physiology, Anatomy, Neurophysiology and Pharmacology. This integral view will be applied to his Natural Practices as Hydrotherapy, Phytotheraphy, Aromatheraphy, Cromotheraphy, Reflexotheraphy, Art theraphy, Musictheraphy and others.

Naturology can be applied in many different ways for health improvement of individuals or community. The Naturologist can work individually with someone who wants to take responsibility for his own health and in this way this person will be called interagent, because he/she will interact/work together with the Naturologist to his own improvement. The work in communities or groups of persons (like Institutions) can be made by the Naturologist checking the life quality of the group, using Natural Practices to improve it and giving health education.

The Naturologist doesn´t substitute the work of Medicine Doctor, Psychologist or any other health professional. The Naturologist can work together with these professionals to attain the benefit of integral treatment. Also Naturology is not meant to do physical diagnostic.
