NATUROPATHY

Naturopathic medicine is defined as a drugless,noninvasive,rational and evidence-based system of medicine imparting treatments with natural elements based on the theories of vitality, toxaemia and the self-healing capacity of the body,as well as the principles of healthy living.

Natural Elements:

• Earth (Prithvi)
• Water (App)
• Sun (Tej)
• Air (Vayu)
• Ether (Akash)

Way of Healthy Living:

• Waking up early in the morning (Brahmi mahoortam)
• Eating only when hungry
• Eating the food in its natural form (raw food)
• Eating only the required quantity of food
• Eating only after doing some physical work
• Not drinking water while eating and immediately after eating
• Fasting, resting, and drinking plenty of water when ill
• Using the five great elements of nature for restoration or maintenance of health

Basic Principal of Nature Cure:

• Body heals itself.
• Main cause of disease is enervation
• Deposit of metabolic end-products in the body is disease.
• Acute disease is a remedial process-itself a cure.
• Food is a building material, does not increase vitality.
• Fasting provides an opportunity to the body to heal itself.
• Germs do no cause the disease but are found in the diseased conditions.
• Exercise or physical activity keeps the balance between nutrition and drainage.

• External treatments whether natural, allopathic, ayurvedic or homeopathic - give only relief, do not cure.

• Patient's own will to get well, determination and faith are necessary things for nature cure treatment.
