Naturopathy is an art and science of healthy living and a drugless system of healing. It is based on the principles of co-operation with the natural laws of life which are ever working within as well as outside the body.
Naturopathy makes use of only the natural sources like water, air, light, heat, exercise, food etc.
In such cases the Nature Cure (Naturopathy) methods of eliminative treatment, such as pure diet, hydrotherapy, massage etc., are valuable means of removing these obstructions and promoting the free circulation of vitality.
Naturopathy focuses relatively more on the whole person than the treatment of isolated disease entities.
The system adheres to strong belief in non-pharmacological approaches for preserving health and preventing disease.
Few therapies corresponding to each element are:
Earth – Mud pack and wrap
Water – Hydrotherapy
Air – Breathing techniques
Fire – Sunbath
Ether – Fasting
Yoga, working in tandem with Naturopathy, is regarded as the two wheels of a healing
cart, a vehicle to an effective Mind-Body medicine.
