• The main features of Naturopathy are
• 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 elimination of
  morbid matter from the body.
• The primary cause of disease is accumulation of
  morbid matter. Bacteria and virus enter and
  survive in the body only after the accumulation
  of morbid matter when a favourable atmosphere for
  their growth is established in body. Hence, the
  basic cause of 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 outcome of wrong treatment
  and suppression of the 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 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 ones spiritual
  faith is an important part of treatment

Naturopathic Principles The six principles of
naturopathic medicine unite NDs across the
world First Do No HarmCore to all medical
practice is the desire to help the human form and
condition. NDs typically approach care by
utilizing the most natural, least invasive and
least toxic therapies. NDs will refer when the
patients presentation is outside their scope or
level of skill. The Healing Power of NatureNDs
recognize the value of our natural world in
assisting the healing process. Not only do NDs
utilize substances that originate in nature, but
they also incorporate a healthy natural
environment as foundational to human health.
Naturopathic doctors recognize and harness the
bodys inherent wisdom to heal itself in order to
guide patients to wellness and total
health. Identify and Treat the CausesThere is a
time and place for symptom suppression, however
most naturopathic patients will benefit from
identifying the underlying causes of illness and
removing obstacles to cure.
9
Doctor as TeacherNaturopathic doctors elevate
patient health literacy. That means that NDs are
part of the team helping patients have a better
understanding of what it takes to be and stay
well. Through education and a trust-based
relationship, patients better understand the
steps they need to take to achieve and maintain
health. Treat the Whole PersonNaturopathic
doctors understand the interconnectedness of our
body, our environment and our lifestyle on total
health. It is only through this
whole-person-based approach that NDs seek to
restore balance and health. PreventionNaturopathi
c medicine affirms that it is better to prevent
illness and suffering whenever possible. Through
their comprehensive practice, NDs combine all six
principles in order to identify potential areas
of imbalance and teach patients how to get well
and stay well.

it this way Step 1 Sit comfortably or lie down.
Breathe slowly and deeply. Step 2 Pick one
muscle group. You can start from the bottom
up. Step 3 Tense the selected muscles as much as
you can and hold 5 to 10 seconds. Step 4 Release
the muscle group progressively until fully
relaxed. Step 5 Pause for 10 seconds and focus
on how that part of the body feels. Step
6 Repeat steps 1 through 5 with the next muscle
group. Step 7 Do steps 1 through 4 with every
muscle group you want to work with. Guided
imagery You may want to do this at the start of
your day or before bedtime. Try to avoid doing it
at times when you need to be fully alert. Its

you wont get interrupted by people, devices, or
loud noises. Step 1 Sit in a comfortable
position or lie down with eyes closed.Step
