Naturopathy
Naturopathy is the treatment system of curing diseases with the help of five elements of nature namely Earth, Water, Fire, Ether, & Air.
Naturopathy is based on the recognition that the body possesses not only a natural ability to resist disease but inherent mechanisms of recovery & self-regulation. In practice, naturopaths employ only agents upon whom life depends & more or less as they are found in nature, such as water, fresh air, clay, natural food, sunlight, exercise etc. modern naturopaths also use methods such as acupressure, magnet therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, herbals etc.
The two basic principles of naturopathy are (1) There is one and only cause of the disease: the accumulation of toxins in the body (2) It is Nature that heals, not the physician or medicines.
