Naturopathy has
a long tradition
in India, where
ancient seers
combined their
insight of Ayurveda, Yoga
and Nature Cure,
into and
effective body
of knowledge and
practices, which
take care of the
ailments of the
human body as
well as mind in
an integrated
manner.
According to the
principles of
this system, our
body has the
capacity to heal
itself. In a
diseased
condition we
just need to aid
our system
through natural
means which are
called the Panchamahabhutas-
the five great
elements [earth,
water, fire, air
and space].
These are the
also
basic
constitution of
our body which
functions in
their own
balanced way. |
|
Any disturbance
in their balance
leads to an
impaired body
function,
accumulation of
toxins in the
system leading
to decreased
vitality in turn
leading to
disease. Since
accumulation of
toxins is the
main cause, the
only cure would
be aiding our
body to remove
these toxins
with the support
of the five
great elements.
