Philosophy of Nature Cure ?

Naturopathic Philosophy is nothing but the SANATANA SATYA OF SWATHYA VIDYA (Eternal truth about true health sciences). Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of healing - a philosophy, science, art and practice which seek to promote health by stimulating and supporting the body's inherent power to regain harmony and balance.

Naturopathy is a philosophy, which encompasses a view of life, a model for living a full life.

Nature cure is a simple and yet a very effective system of medicine, which has taken a scientific form today. The cause of the disease according to nature cure is the accumulation of toxins / poisonous substances in the body due to wrong eating habits and a poor lifestyle. The treatment removes the cause of the disease and does not treat the symptoms alone. In this system of medicine no oral medications or drugs are used to treat a patient. The naturopathic doctor assists the body in eliminating the accumulated toxins/morbid matter through various channels using different types of natural therapies.

"Healthy action and sickly action are all vital action - ALL ONE. Health and Disease are the same thing differing only in degree." Dr. Herbert Shelton

Nature cure has its own concepts regarding health and disease. According to this disobedience of Nature's laws produces the disease and by adopting the Natural laws health may be regained

The main principles of Naturopathy are as under:

• All disease, their cause and their treatment are one.
• The basic cause of infectious disease is not bacteria but morbid matter. Bacteria develop after the accumulation of morbid matter, which provides a favorable atmosphere for their growth in the human body.
• Acute diseases are our friends not the enemies.
• Chronic diseases are the outcome of neglect, wrong treatment and suppression of the acute diseases.
• Nature is the greatest healer. Body has the capacity to prevent itself from diseases and regain health if diseased.
• In Naturopathy patient is treated and not the disease.
• Chronic ailments are also treated successfully in comparatively less time in Naturopathy.
• After emerging, suppressed diseases can be cured by Naturopathy.
• Nature Cure treats physical, mental, social (moral) and spiritual all four aspects at the same time.
• Nature Cure treats body as a whole instead of giving treatment to each organ separately.
• Nature Cure is person-centric and not disease-centric
• Naturopathy does not use medicines. According to Naturopathy "Food is medicine".
