The natural way of healing Naturopathy shows the way.... God has not given us any disease for which he has not provided a remedy, only we must have the vision to look at it! Naturopathic Medicine, or Naturopathy, is a system of medicine that uses natural substances to treat the patient and recognition that the patient's mental, emotional, and physical states must all be treated for a lasting effect. 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.
Though the term Naturopathy was coined in 1895, this type of medicine had been practiced for hundreds, if not thousands of years prior. The fundamental difference of Nature Care with other systems is that theory and practice are based on holistic view point whereas the latter's approach is specific. Nature Care does not believe in the specific cause of disease and its specific treatment but takes into account the totality of factors responsible for disease such as one's unnatural habits in living, thinking, working, sleeping, relaxing, sexual indulging etc.
It also considers the environmental factors involved which on the whole disturb the normal functioning of the body and lead it to a morbid, weak and toxic state. The foundation of Naturopathic medicine is the vitalistic philosophy of the healing power of nature. This means that within every human organism there is a healing energy, which includes our immune system in the fuller sense of both the physical and the psyche, which is responsible for our wellness and our ability to heal and maintain health. |

| Naturopathy |
Introduction Diet should be such that it fulfills the nutritional requirements of our body. Just as wrong food harms our digestive system, right food can cure any ailment. Diet should have enough proteins, carbohydrates, fats, roughage, water, minerals and vitamins. Meat, fish and eggs should not be taken. Natural and Satvik diet Satvik food is that which is juicy, tasty and nutritious. It increases life, strength and enthusiasm and enhances spiritual growth. It is the principle of nature that food which has pran would give us strength. Nature wants that we eat food as it is found in nature. Fruits and vegetables, eaten as from nature, provide all the vitaminn and minerals in them. If we take uncooked food, we need half of what we need when the food is cooked. Uncooked food is without any impure effect. Natural food purifies the body. All cereals when they are put in water and sprouts are full of life. All sprouts are very good for health- of wheat, barley, millet, grams and pulses. Milk should also be taken unboiled. Almomd, walnut and peanuts are rich in protein. Instead of sweets, we should take ripe sweet fruits and honey. Diet according to season There is a strong relationship between foods and the season in which they are grown. Nature grows those kinds of food which would cure the diseases which develop in that season.
Important foods:? Milk is the only food which has protein, carbohydrates, milk sugar, mineral salts, fat and vitamins. Milk is a complete food. It increases the strength of the body and mind and maintains life force in body. Milk should be taken unboiled soon after it is milked. Of all the milk products, butter, buttermilk, curd and milk sugar rae beneficial.
Buttermilk is very beneficial. Those who drink buttermilk would never fall ill. Buttermilk treatment is beneficial in constipation, loose motions, colitis, dysentry, itching, scabies, eczema, tuberculosis, fever, piles, dropsy, gout, gas, diabetes, weak nervous system, diseases of womb etc. ? Fruits have pure water, sugar, vitamins, mineral salts, acid, alkali, small amount of protein, fat, roughage and some other materials. Fruits have 85 to 95 percent water, which is hundred percent pure. Sugar is the main solid part of the fruits which is 5 to 15 percent in them. Fruits have carbohydrates which are converted into sugar by sun rays. Good quality of fruits is that they produce alkali, which removes the acidity of the body. By living on fruits, we increase the alkalinity of body, because of which diseases do not develop. Various organs, kidneys and liver do not have to do so much work when we live on fruits and they become strong. Those who are suffering from chronic bronchitis, chronic pleurisy, chronic cold or diseases of kidney s and liver have surprising benefits when they live on fruits. ? Dry fruits have all qualities which fresh fruits have. Dry fruits have lot of proteins, mineral salts and sugar. Dry fruits do not have sufficient amount of vitamin C.
But dry fruits are alkaline and have lot of mineral salts. Before dry fruits are eaten, they should be soaked in water for some time, so that they become soft. But the water in which they are soaked should also be drunk. Dry fruits should never be boiled. There is one misunderstanding that dry fruits should only be taken in winters and not summer and rainy season. One can take dry fruits along with fresh fruits and vegetables once a day even in summer and maintain good health. Dry fruits create blood and keep it purified.
They keep the stomach and digestive system clean. |

Leafy vegetables are the natural food of human beings after fruits. It is alkaline and at the same time it has mineral salts. But when they are cooked and chillies and spices are added to them, they become acidic and they are less beneficial. Therefore the best way of eating leafy vegetables is to make their salad.
