About Naturopathy
Naturopathy is a natural healing technique using the healing powers of nature. Sometimes referred to as “natural medicine,” naturopathy goes back thousands of years, drawing on the healing wisdom of many cultures.
This includes Indian (Ayurvedic), Chinese (Taoist), Greek (Hippocratic), Arabian, Egyptian, and European (monastic medicine) traditions. Hippocrates, a Greek physician who lived 2,400 years ago, is often considered the earliest predecessor of Naturopathic physicians. Particularly because of his teachings “Nature is the healer of all diseases” and his formulation of the concept Vis Medicatrix Naturae — “The Healing Power of Nature.” This idea has long been at the core of indigenous medicine in many cultures around the world and remains one of the central themes of Naturopathic Philosophy.

Our Treatment
Massage therapy
Massage therapy
is one of the important treatment modalities of naturopathy used for treating many disorders and also to preserve good health. Massage improves blood circulation, provides strength to body organs, and helps regenerate muscles. Massaging with oil is very useful and has therapeutic benefits. The oils that are usually used in massage are mustard oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and aroma oil. The process of massaging activates all the body organs.
Fasting Therapy
According to Naturopathy, the root cause of most of the diseases is the accumulation of toxic matter in the digestive system. Fasting is considered as one of the most important methods of nature cure. In Naturopathy, fasting is practiced to enable nature to perform its cleansing process in the body, without any hindrance, and without any additional load of food to digest. The digestive organs are given a rest, to enable them to regain their health and work efficiently. As per Naturopathy, initially, one should fast for a limited period of time and then gradually increase the time period. One should break the fast with juice, vegetable juice, soups, and fruits. But the best and the safest way of fasting is the lime juice fasting. Before fasting, the bowel should be completely empty. Rest is advised during fasting.
Diet Therapy
Diet is considered the key element of naturopathy treatment, here food is ‘The Medicine’. According to Naturopathy, diet is one of the necessary components in managing any disease. Naturopathy believes in the innate capacity of the body to heal itself with the right diet. In naturopathy treatments, diet is specifically customized for individual patients for treatment, speedy recovery, and further maintenance. Naturopathy recommends, that all food should preferably be taken in its fresh and natural form. Eating natural foods has a cleansing and purifying effect on our body. Fresh food prepared using natural ingredients and simple cooking techniques ensures that the natural nutrition of the food is not lost.
Such diet also helps in warding off diseases. A balanced diet should contain foods which are alkaline rich. Acidic food tends to build a higher level of toxins in our body, which makes our body prone to various ailments. According to naturopathy, a balanced diet should comprise 20 percent of acidic and 80 percent of alkaline foods for maintaining good health. To make the pH of our blood more alkaline we need to increase the intake of foods which are rich in vitamin B complex. Vitamin C helps the body to bounce back from stressful situations. Carbohydrates contain the neurotransmitter serotonin which induces the sense of well-being.
Acupressure
The Acupressure therapy helps in maintaining health by balancing energy channels of the body. The energy in our body flows through various channels.The flow of energy is imbalanced when there is disruption in these channels due to stress injury etc. The Acupressure not only balances various energy forces in the body but also has positive effects on mind, spirit and emotions.
Acupressure is often called acupuncture without the needles. Instead of needles, acupressure is done by using the thumb, finger, or knuckle to apply gentle but firm pressure (usually with the fingertips) to specific points on the body which influences the autonomic nervous system. The pressure is usually increased for about 30 seconds, held steadily for 30 seconds to two minutes, and then gradually decreased for 30 seconds. It’s often repeated three to five times. According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, the body has vital energy called “chi” or “qi” that flows along invisible lines of energy flow called “meridians.” There are thought to be at least 14 meridians connecting our organs with other parts of our body. Acupressure points lie along these 14 meridians. If the flow of qi is blocked at any point on a meridian, it is thought to be the cause of ailments and can lead to disease anywhere along the meridian. Acupressure is used both as a preventive, and a therapeutic treatment. It helps alleviate pain and fatigue, and addresses musculoskeletal problems.
Induces relaxation and restores balance.
It improves blood circulation, lowers muscle tension and endorphin simulation.

The therapeutic touch stimulates certain chemicals in the brain that boost the immune system to lift depression and relieve stress.
Mud Therapy
