There must be theoretical support for prevention and treatment of disease to form a relatively complete theoretical system, and this theory should be recognized by the majority of people. For a long time, the reason why non-pharmacological treatment (NPT) is in the fringe of medicine is that there is no convincing theory to prove its feasibility and rationality. Although drug therapy is in the dominant position in the medical field, the scientific nature and effectiveness of drug therapy are increasingly questioned by people, and more and more people turn their attention to NPT or non-pharmacological measure (NPM). NPT with homeopathic predominant has been deeply rooted in the hearts of people and is increasingly accepted by more and more people, but due to its weak theoretical foundation, the application of NPT has been constrained,the status quo of NPT is unfair and it is necessary to need and acquire a true and fair evaluation. This paper proves the feasibility and rationality of NPT from different angles. The wide range of applications for NPT has been proved for its feasibility; from the biological point of view, especially the self-repair ability of organisms, it can be proved scientific; understanding NPT from the perspective of ethics explains the authenticity of non-drug cure; the rationality and reliability of NPT is explained by the philosophical understanding of NPT. A complete theoretical system should be established for NPT, so that human health can be further improved.
