What is Natural Medicine?
Natural medicine, also called naturopathic medicine, complementary/ alternative medicine (CAM), holistic medicine, or – in some parts of the world – traditional medicine, especially in regards to herbalism, can be described as using using non-invasive methods in nature to help the body heal from illness and injury. Unlike conventional medicine, also called allopathic medicine, modern medicine or Western medicine (sometimes also called traditional medicine), which seeks to get rid of symptoms or infected body parts through pharmaceutical drugs, surgery or radiation, natural medicine seeks to find and treat the cause of the problem – not just the symptoms.
Another distinction between natural/ naturopathic/ holistic medicine/CAM and conventional/ allopathic/ Western/traditional medicine is that while conventional/ traditional medicine treats just the symptoms or infected parts of the body, natural/holistic/alternative medicine seeks to treat the whole person – body, mind, spirit and soul – viewing all parts and aspects of a patient as valid and connected to each other.

Dr. Chase focusses on the following therapies/ modalities, offering these services by appointment only from his home office or via client home visits:
1. Herbal medicine – Utilizing the healing power of plants – leaves, flowers, roots, bark, seeds – in teas, tinctures and poultices to get rid of symptoms of illnesses and their underlying causes.
2. Acupressure – Applying massage to certain points on the body where life energy (called chi/qi or prana) may become blocked or stagnant, thus releasing the body’s own pent up healing and life energy to flow where it is needed to bring about faster healing and relief of symptoms.
3. Reflexology – Massaging points on the feet and hands, especially the feet, (all energy pathways through the body and its organs run through the feet) to bring about balance of energy in the body, calm emotions to promote healing, and to complement acupressure in releasing blocked or stagnant chi/prana relieve symptoms and accelerate healing.
4. Nutritional counselling – Your food should be your medicine – Advising patients on the types of food and the amounts to eat to supply the necessary vitamins and other nutrients needed to ensure good health.
5. Reiki – Channelling the healing power of Nature/the Universe for healing, good health, and manifestation.
Dr. Chase Albert Neil has been practicing complementary and alternative medicine since 2018, when he first started out as an acupressurist and reflexologist.
After experiencing months of extensive diarrhea and joint pains that prevented him from going to school and performing at an acceptable level, Chase, then a high school classroom teacher, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in early 2015. The frequent flare-ups affected him so much, persisting despite medication and minor surgery, decreasing his quality of life to the point that he was sorely stressed and depressed and became hypertensive, that Chase started searching for alternative ways to get rid of his symptoms. When he was introduced to acupressure and reflexology in 2018, Chase was so impressed that he immediately started learning, reading the book Acupressure and Reflexology for Dummies before studying a course and obtaining a Diploma in Reiki & Acupressure. Having studied and obtained a Diploma in Life Coaching at that time, Chase combined life coaching with acupressure, reflexology, Reiki and astro-numerology consultations to create Touch Therapy Life Coaching – helping clients to solve life’s problems and achieve goals through life coaching, while dispelling negative emotions and self-concepts and treating minor health symptoms through acupressure, reflexology and Reiki.
