What is Naturopathy? One of the seven Ayush systems, Naturopathy is an old traditional system of cure. Its history dates back to centuries ago when there were no drugs. Naturopathy is an art and science of healthy living and a drugless system of healing based on well-founded philosophy. It has its own concept of health and disease and also the principle of treatment. It is a system of healthcare which promotes the body’s own self-healing mechanism. Just the way nature is mainly composed of 5 elements, i.e. fire, water, ether, wood, and air; similarly, our human body consists of these following 5 elements which Naturopathy aims to keep in harmony and balance with each other in the body.
