English term or phrase: Non-pharmacological treatment
What is the best way to say in Czech "Non-pharmacological treatment", i.e. such treatment that does not involve use of drugs, but relies on exercises, sometimes herbs, etc? Other possible definitions would be:
non-drug treatment;
treatment without medicaments;
drug-free treatment;
etc.

I speak Russian well; in Russian it is "nemedicamentoznoe lechenie"

non-pharmacological treatment
nemedikamentózní léčba / léčba bez podávání léků


Explanation:
I. e. treatment without medicaments.

As for "léčba bez podávání léků", in such a case "léčba" and "lék" sound a bit similar, but on the other hand it uses no "foreign" (and a bit longer) word (nemedikamentózní).

Eventually you could also use "bezléková léčba" or "bezléková léčebná metoda".

neutral  Lenka Mandryszová: Tomáši, nereaguji teď na návrhy, ty jsou samozřejmě správné a použitelné, spíše na poznámku o "foreign" words. Medicína je jedním z mála oborů, které v češtině vždy sahají spíše po slově s latinským základem než po počeštěné verzi.

  -> Jo, s tím souhlasím; napsal jsem oboje, protože nevím, komu je cílový text určen (zda profíkům nebo široké veřejnosti). Mám za to, že pro 80letou babi je jasnější "bez léků" (podobně jako včera "vysoký tlak" místo "hypertenze") - a profík pochopí i to.
