Naturopathy - A Cure For All Diseases

By P. Gopakumar

The different practices of Naturopathy may include things like manual therapy, herbalism, hydrotherapy, counseling, acupuncture, environmental medicine and aromatherapy.

NATURE cure is a term that covers all methods of treating diseases, which aim at cooperating with the natural forces and the body's defense mechanisms. It is a distinct system of healing based upon its own philosophy of life, health and illness. Nature cure may be defined as an art, a science, a philosophy or practice which follows definite physical, chemical, biological, mental and spiritual laws for the restoration and maintenance of health and the correction of bodily disorders without the use of poisonous drugs.

Nature Therapies

Naturopathy is a system of medicine that diagnoses and prescribes through the use of water, air, diet, light, heat and all other kinds of natural methods and modalities. Nature therapies exist for most diseases, pains, injuries, deformities and psychological conditions.

Nature therapy includes mechano-therapy, auricular manipulation, corrective and orthopedic gymnastics, neurotherapy, psychotherapy, hydrotherapy, mineral baths, electrotherapy, thalmotherapy, artificial dilation and other means of stimulation of the nervous system through the body's orifices and diet.

In general, naturopathy investigates scientifically all the methods and procedures which are related to the correction of ills and the maintenance of sound health. Naturopathy prohibits the use of poisonous drugs, serums, invasive surgery, x-ray and radiation for therapeutic purposes.

The science of naturopathy has existed from time immemorial. Its origin dates back to the emergence of Homo sapiens on this planet when early man cured himself of all ailments by eating herbs and regulating his diets.

Through the ages, man has harnessed the forces of nature not only for the development of civilisation but also for keeping his body and mind healthy. This worked wonderfully well as long as they were used in their pure, unadulterated states like fresh herbs, free flowing hot water springs and natural magnets. But unfortunately with the emergence of artificially produced drugs of modern medicine, several of the infallible techniques of nature cure were thrown into the drains of history, only to be lost in mists of time.

Fortunately, over the last few years the wheel of medicine has turned a full circle, and once again interest in the natural methods of healing has been revived all over the globe. This is because modern medicine is sometimes found to do more harm and is often unsuccessful in curing chronic ailments and skin diseases.

It is true but a little known fact that naturopathy can cure virtually every disease and ailment that afflict mankind. Even the so-called terminal illnesses can be cured by naturopathy. Of all the terminal illnesses that afflict mankind, cancer is one of the most fatal ones. Cancer can be both prevented and completely eradicated from the body by the genre healing process of nature cure.

Nature cure involves educating people in self-control and inculcating the right habits of living, thereby preventing disease by following the laws of nature. It improves constitutional health by using the life force within us to effect cures and create internal defenses against ill-health and disease. It is a way of life in tune with the internal vital life-giving forces or elements, which comprise the human entity on the physical, mental and spiritual planes of well being.

There are three aspects of nature cure. First, as a natural process, which uses the natural forces of air, water, sunlight and food. Secondly, as a philosophy of natural living which incorporates healing and the joy of life. Thirdly, as a practical science of restoring health with the aid of a qualified naturopathic practitioner.

Nature cure means healing within. It is nature that heals and cures - the naturopathic physician merely lends intelligent assistance and interprets nature's laws for the patient. The body is a remarkable and unique mechanism. It can withstand danger within because of its power to correct itself and restore its own balance. No machine made by the hand of man can achieve this. No machine can repair its own broken parts, but the body does this through the air it breathes, the water it drinks and the food it eats.

Nature cures all kinds of diseases except where surgical intervention becomes essential or the body is damaged beyond repair. It is rightly said that there is no such thing as incurable disease, but there may be incurable patients. Usually patients who are medical rejects try naturopathy and expect miracles.

Nature cure treatment ensures that requisite amount of our own vital forces are generated, for it is only proper stimulation of the vital force within us that can cure us. Any form of treatment can only help the curative powers of the human system to operate more intensely than they have hitherto been doing.

Solutions Solutions The first expression of the power of life is found in nature. Amidst hostile conditions and varied zones of topography, the crosscurrents of life came out victoriously, and this has been the scenario since time immemorial. The world is going back to nature because the artificial barriers created by man cannot withstand one's own pressure. Mother Nature alone offers all the answers to us. The need is for true seekers of solutions. Let us begin to believe in its power, the fruits will come on their own.
