Naturopathy is a healing method that has its roots in almost all the cultures. India's Ayurveda, traditional Chinese and Greek medicine, all lay great emphasis on the natural healing system. They believe that the body has natural abilities to resist diseases and to heal itself.
Naturopathy believes in the principle of five elements of nature - earth, sky, fire, water, and wind. These five elements are the source of energy and help in the treatment. The root cause of all disease is supposed to be the accumulation of foreign matter and waste products in the body. In diseased state the body excretes all foreign matter and waste products. Naturopathy hence tries to eliminate the root cause of illness. It does not suppress symptoms because it might interfere with healing.
Prana is the vitality force. Naturopathy aims at providing life force to the body by protecting it from internal and external threats. It helps in physical and mental well being. This can be achieved by harmonious and coordinated functioning of the five elements of nature. Control over senses is the foundation of good health. A well planned life and positive thinking has a favorable effect on the healing process. Simple or sattvic food, proper rest, sound sleep, cleanliness, and peaceful mind are the features of a planned life style.
Naturopathy believes that every body has germs that grow and multiply. To prevent germ growth, it prescribes to clean and purify the body regularly. Nature cure physicians do not believe in giving poisonous drugs to kill germs. They rather purify the blood and tissues to develop immunity. Lowered vitality and increase of toxic and morbid matter in the body causes a diseased state.
