Naturopathy
What Is Naturopathy ?
Naturopathy is a drugless, non-invasive, a rational, and evidence-based system of medicine, imparting treatments with natural elements. It is based on the Theory of Vitality, Theory of Toxaemia, Theory of Self-Healing capacity of the body and the Principles of healthy living.
To have a healthy life one should follow the principles of nature and should be disciplined in his daily life, while eating, sleeping, walking.
Similarly, if man violates the rule of nature, he is punished by nature and becomes sick.
The Science of Naturopathy or Nature cure is as old as nature itself. In ancient times people led a happy and long life as they lived in harmony with nature.
Religious traditions like going on a pilgrimage to holly places, observances of kalp vas, fasts, sattvic food, taking saltless food once a week, worship of Ether, Air, Sun, Water and Earth etc helped them lead a long healthy happy life, without falling prey to illnesses.
Health is normal and harmonious vibration of the elements and forces composing the human entity in physical, mental, moral and spiritual levels, which are in accordance to the constructive principles of nature.
All things of nature are beautiful since they remain in tune with nature’s laws. man is the only being who has the reedom to choose and act. It is we humans alone who break the laws of nature.
No doubt, scientific, technological and material attainments of modern man are highly commendable, so are the medical inventions.
