Why Naturopathy ?

                    Introduction Naturopathy is an art and science of healthy living and drugless system of healing based on well founded philosophy. It has its own concept of health and disease and also principles of treatment.

                   Naturopathy is a very old science. We can find a number of references in our Vedas and other ancient texts. The "morbid matter theory", "concept of vital force" and other concepts upon which Naturopathy is based are already available in old texts which indicate that these modalities were widely practiced in ancient India.
                    The fundamental difference of Naturopathy with other systems of medicine is that its theory and practice are based on holistic view point where as the later's approach is specific. Naturopathy does not believe in the specific cause of disease and its specific treatment but takes into account the totality of factors responsible for disease such as one's unnatural habits in living, thinking, working, sleeping, relaxing, sexual indulgence etc. and also considers the cnvironmental factors involved which on the whole disturb the normal functioning of the body and lead it to a morbid, weak and toxic state. For treatment, it primarily stresses to correct all the factors involved and allows the body to recover itself.
The Naturopathy Physician helps in Nature's effort to overcome disease by applying correct natural modalities and controlling the natural forces to work within safe limits.

                        Naturopathy is a traditional system of healing based on time-tested principles of governing life, living and health. These are well documented in the ancient Indian scriptures like Vedas, Upanishads and Epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata, In Rigveda fasting was considered as supreme medicine to eliminate the accumulated toxins in the body. The Manusmriti has prescribed rules and regulations about personal hygiene. The Bhagavat Gita has elucidated in detail the three varieties of food vs. Satlvik, Tanasik and Rajasik and its effect on human body and mind.
