For a long time, we have been recovering from illness and delapidating our health simultaneously; thanks to the extensive use of drugs, including heavy doses of antibiotics that reduces our immunity drastically. With time, several other course of medicines have gained popularity that traces its existence much before the modern day western medicines. Naturopathy is one of them, which is a system of alternative medicine based on the theory that diseases can be successfully treated/prevented without the use of drugs. Naturopathy treats one by techniques such as control of diet, exercise and massage, and employs an array of practices branded as natural and non-invasive and is self-healing.

However, mostly termed as unethical medical practice that uses harmful ingredients to manufacture /prepare medicines, Naturopathy is more than what meets the eyes. It is a blend of age-old healing traditions with scientific advances. Guided by the unique set of principles that recognize the body’s innate healing capacity, Naturopathy emphasizes on disease prevention and encourages individual’s responsibility to obtain optimal health through modalities, including diet and clinical nutrition, behavioral change, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, botanical medicine, physical medicine, pharmaceuticals and minor surgery. Gaining significant importance in the medical ecosystem, today Naturopathy is working wonders in treating several highly critical medical cases. Today, we see few instances where this traditional form of medicine is blended with the modern day medicines to provide the best treatment with least side effects.
