About USANMA 美國自然醫學會

According to World Health Organization (1948) definition of health, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” From the Perspective of Western medicine, medical treatments beyond the comprehension by each national, traditional, regional emerging, mono-therapeutic, systematic, Western medical philosophy or by biochemical analysis which still cannot grasp are collectively known as Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). According to surveys by New England Journal of Medicine, approx. 1/3 of the world’s population opts to receive naturopathic medicine treatments. Naturopathic medicine combines scientific evidence and clinical applications as well as the traditional medicine and culturally enriched body-mind-spirit therapy and diagnosis that shows respect to quality of life, carry out the principle that “prevention is better than cure” to protect the human body from the harmful side effects as the essential spirit.
