Naturopathy is a system of healing in harmony with the constructive principles of nature on the physical, mental, social and moral planes of the individual being.
It is a holistic system of medicine; rather it is a life style with the objectives of upliftment of all levels of human potentialities, through which the total quality of health and happiness can be achieved and promoted. The concept states that human body is made up of the five great elements and all states of health and disease are governed by them. The human body is a miniature of the universe. It is operated naturally by the natural rhythm. The infinite power of nature directly acts on the human body in all conditions. So the violation of natures principles causes disease. Therefore the correction of the natural pathways only can make health possible.
The present trend of modern civilization has hampered our natural life style. Everything is now guided by the principles of technology and comfort with little concern for man's natural values the accumulation of wealth is not so much hazardous as the unbinded means of accumulation of wealth. There men's work against the natural flow of the being. This change in basic attitude has spoiled our life style and the state of health is declining day by day. Also in all walks of life, artificial practice in food, shelter, relaxation, thinking, has made man a machine and his emotional pattern is suppressed highly ; this pushes towards the negative side; the problem is compounded by a deterioration in physical condition due to loss of natural resistance and immunity. Hence the ultimate result is an irreversible chain of events leading to disease effects on health. We have to awaken to the fault that the turning point in our very precious life is A return to nature. Unless we breaking the present style of life we shall continue to destroying our progenies by transferring weak and vulnerable genes. Hence we have to practice our life style conformity with the nature. We have to practice the natural way of life as much as possible. The system of naturopathy emphasizes the need to obey the principles of nature thorough out the our life times.
The concept of naturopathy is basically on the principle of nature.
