Naturopathy
is a system of therapy which relies exclusively on natural remedies,
such as sunlight, air, water, mud supplemented with diet and therapies
such as massage, accupuncture and physiotherapy. Naturopathy is
based on the belief that the body is self-healing. The body will
repair itself and recover from illness spontaneously if it is
in a healthy environment. Naturopaths have many remedies and recommendations
for creating a healthy environment so the body can spontaneously
heal itself.
Naturecure is a system of man building in confirmity with the
constructive principles in nature on the physical, mental and
moral planes of well being- Henry Lindlahr.
So it treats the living system in a holistic way. A Naturopath
simply provides required guidance, whereas self-control, diet
control and exercise to be adopted and simple treatments to be
followed by the patient. Thus the patient plays an important role
in naturopathy.
Naturopathy is a life style rather than a treatment. As a drugless
system of healing, which utilizes the inherent healing power of
men, Nature Cure is a safe, simple and an entirely natural way
of treatments without any side effects. It imparts a scientific
and wholesome lifestyle that is designed to prolong health and
longevity. Naturopathy believes that germs are the secondary cause
of disease but the primary cause is the accumulation of morbid
matters as the waste products. Naturopathy tries to remove the
root cause of the disease.
It
affirms that the human body is not an inert machine which requires
external help whenever it fails to function properly. It is an
all powerful living miraculous dynamo and if given proper opportunity
is capable of curing and preserving itself. We fall ill only when
we go against nature. It also advocates that the acute diseases
like fever, cold cough, diarrhoea, constipation, vomiting etc
are the effort of our body to expel the toxins out; don't suppress
it instead support this eliminative efforts by enema and other
simple naturopathic treatments.
