What is Nature Cure?

Everything surrounds us is made by the great " NATURE, THE MOTHER EARTH "

nature made us, nurture us, sustain us and ultimately make us ashes by the end of our time.

   "Nature cure is a system of man building in harmony with the constructive principles of Nature on physical, mental, moral and spiritual planes of living. It has great health promoting, disease preventive and curative as well as restorative potential "

Nature cure can be defined as a drugless, non-invasive, rational and evidence-based system of medicine imparting treatments with natural elements based on the theory of vitality, the theory of toxemia, the theory of self-healing, the capacity of the body and the principles of healthy living. Nature cure is an art and science of healthy living and a drugless system of healing based on a well-founded philosophy. It has its own concept of health and disease and also the principle of treatment. Nature cure is a very old science. 

We can find a number of references in our Vedas and other ancient texts. The morbid matter theory, the concept of vital force and other concepts upon which Naturopathy is based are already available in old texts. According to the manifesto of the British Naturopathic Association, "Naturopathy is a system of treatment which recognizes the existence of the vital curative force within the body." It, therefore, advocates aiding human system to remove the cause of disease i.e. toxins by expelling the unwanted and unused matters from the human body for curing diseases.

Salient Features of Nature Cure-

The main features of Naturopathy are as under: 

• All diseases, their causes, and treatment are one. Except for traumatic and environmental conditions, the cause of all diseases is one i.e. accumulation of morbid matter in the body. The treatment of all diseases is the elimination of morbid matter from the body. 
• The primary cause of the disease is the accumulation of morbid matter. Bacteria and viruses enter and survive in the body only after the accumulation of morbid matter when a favorable atmosphere for their growth is established in the body. Hence, the basic cause of the disease is morbid matter and bacteria secondary causes. 
• Acute diseases are self-healing efforts of the body. Hence, they are our friends, not the enemy. Chronic diseases are the outcome of wrong treatment and the suppression of acute diseases. 
• Nature is the greatest healer. The human body itself has the healing power to prevent itself from disease and regain health if unhealthy.
• In Nature Cure, it is not the disease but the entire body of the patient which is caused and is renewed. 
• Naturopathy Cures Patients suffering from chronic ailments are also treated successfully in comparatively less time by Naturopathy. 
• In Nature Cure, the suppressed diseases are brought to the surface and are removed permanently.
• Naturopathy treats all the aspects like physical, mental, social and spiritual at the same time.
• Naturopathy treats the body as a whole.
• According to Naturopathy, “Food is only the Medicine”, no external medications are used.
• Performing prayer according to one’s spiritual faith is an important part of treatment (According to Gandhiji “Rama Nama" is the best Natural Treatment).
