Why Nature Cure ?

Nature Cure is rightly defined as a system of man building in harmony with constructive principles of Nature on physical, mental, moral and spiritual planes of living. It has great health promotive, disease preventive and curative as well as restorative potential.

Naturopathy is fast gaining popularity around the world for its safe and effective healing. In Indian homes, home remedies come before the trip to the doctor. All ailments are believed to be caused by what you eat and what you don't eat.

Nature Cure very beautifully explains this principle, "A disease can be overcome by regulating diet without any medicine. But a man whose diet is not regulated cannot conquer disease even after taking hundreds of medicines. There is no better medicine than the choice of food according to one's hunger and constitution. A man can remain forever healthy through the right choice of food alone. A man cannot survive without food even while taking medicine. Therefore great physicians have regarded the right choice of diet as the best remedy"

People associated with Nature Cure should create Holistic Health Centers & Education Centers where right from childhood we learn about right alimentation, right way to think and act in life, right ways to relax the body and thereby the mind.

Regarding fasting and diet it is imprinted in our minds that one has to undergo a phase of starvation once they enter nature cure system. This notion has entered our minds because many unqualified people incorrectly practice this system of medicine. There is a vast difference between fasting and starvation. Scientific fasting is voluntary abstinence from food for some therapeutic purpose under a qualified doctor’s supervision. There are many researches being conducted to bring out the scientific value of therapeutic fasting. It is rightly said “Langhanam Paramsukhadam” considering Fasting to be a supreme remedy. So let us understand and then accept its uniqueness and be mentally prepared to experience it in case of necessity. 

To continue this concept let us learn a few things about natural diet as well. Eating raw and uncooked food is considered as natural diet. However this is a common misunderstanding. A balanced or natural diet fulfils the body’s requirement by supplying all necessary nutrients in the appropriate amount.

Does nature demand anything in return from us for providing us clean water, fresh air, sunlight etc? Till we don’t destroy Nature, this system cannot become a costly one. Nature cure is the only simple and economical system, which is available to people even below the poverty line. The one thing we need to do is to understand and accept the simplicity of the system.
