Naturopathy is making a strong resurgence in many Western countries, and its philosophical and theoretical basis has much in common with nursing theories of health. This article will give an overview of naturopathy, its origins in Hippocratic medicine and nature cure, and its re-emergence during the Victorian era in the context of a renewal of interest in health. The question is posed, 'To what extent did the nature cure movement of last century influence the thinking of Florence Nightingale?' An examination of her writings supports the hypothesis that nature cure was a significant influence on Nightingale's understanding of health and healing. Contemporary nursing theory is also congruent with naturopathic principles in significant ways, and a convergence between the two disciplines is emerging.
自然疗法在许多西方国家正强势复兴，其哲学和理论基础与护理健康理论有诸多共同之处。本文将概述自然疗法，它在希波克拉底医学和自然疗法中的起源，以及在维多利亚时代，随着对健康兴趣的再度兴起而重新出现的情况。文章提出问题：“上个世纪的自然疗法运动在多大程度上影响了弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔的思想？”对她著作的研究支持了这样一种假设，即自然疗法对南丁格尔对健康和治愈的理解产生了重大影响。当代护理理论在重要方面也与自然疗法原则相一致，这两个学科之间正在出现融合。
