What is Nature Cure ?

The word naturopathy is a Latin-Greek hybrid, which can be defined as 'being close to or benefiting from nature'.

Natural Hygiene / Nature Cure is a branch of the science of living which deals with care of the organism in a state of Disease. It also recognises that there is a Law of Health & Cure and that by obedience to this law both health and healing are obtained.

“Natural cure is a revolution in the art and science of living”. It is the practical realization and application of all that is good in natural science, philosophy and healthcare.

"Trust your body’s essential nature" because all the energies of the body and nature are always directed towards health.

Naturopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare based on a belief in the healing power of nature. Naturopaths work closely with you to improve your health by making food and lifestyle changes such as improving your diet and reducing stress. They also sometimes employ alternative therapies, including herbal remedies, acupressure, acupuncture and hands-on techniques such as massage to stimulate your body's ability to heal itself. 

Nature cure is a scientifically evaluated system of medicine, which is practiced by qualified, doctors who thoroughly study the human organism with other therapeutic subjects.

Naturopathy is an independent system of medicine and broadly varies in its philosophy and management aspects from Ayurveda and homeopathy.

Nature Cure for You

Nature Cure or Natural Hygiene is also considered to be the best solution for healthy living and disease cure because every being is unique in its constitution and genetic make-up, which is determined to a great extent by the union of genes from the male sperm and female ovum, the nature of food taken by the mother during pregnancy and the likes, having a unique composition of Vatta (Air), Pitta (Fire) & Kapha (Water). Unnatural living and wrong food habits create an imbalance in this delicate balance of Vatta(Air), Pitta(Fire), & Kapha(Water) which manifests in the form of various diseases. Restoration of this delicate balance is the basis of all treatments and this can only be achieved by following the Laws of Nature and Natural Living. This is the reason why only Naturopathy is the best system of medicine for healthy living and overcoming diseases.

Like the external world is maintained by the forces such as the air, sun and the moon, the living body too is maintained by the tridoshas i.e. vata, pitta and kapha. Any discrepancies in these tridoshas lead to diseases.
