Lucila Bravo Bosch, a well-known doctor from Ourense, is bringing her expertise in naturopathic medicine back to her city. With a degree in Medicine from the Faculty of Navarra and years of experience as a family doctor in the Galician public health system, Bosch has also received training in naturopathic medicine in international clinics in Munich and Berlin.
In an interview, Bosch highlighted the difference between conventional medicine and naturopathic medicine, emphasizing the importance of addressing the root cause of a disease rather than just suppressing symptoms with pharmacology. She believes that naturopathic medicine focuses on detoxification and cellular nutrition to promote overall health and balance.
Despite facing criticism for her approach, Bosch remains committed to providing natural and holistic treatments to her patients, even incorporating them into her practice within the public health system. She sees preventive medicine as a key factor in addressing chronic ailments and hopes to educate others on the benefits of naturopathic medicine.
Known affectionately as “herbs” by her patients, Bosch has embraced her unique approach to medicine, earning the nickname “doctor onion” for her use of natural remedies like onion broths. Despite the challenges of not being able to prescribe certain natural remedies due to insurance limitations, Bosch remains dedicated to providing safe and effective treatments to her patients.
Overall, Bosch’s return to Ourense to open a naturopathic medicine consultation reflects her commitment to promoting health and wellness through a holistic approach to medicine.
