The
modern era of science and technology
has geared up almost all of
towards a fast life beset with
tensions and stress. Industrialization,
productivity, consumerism, aggressive
marketing etc has of course,
improved the comforts of life,
but in spite of all these, and
the extensive researches all
over the globe, the associated
stress and tensions have shown
no trend of decreasing and is
rather on the path of ascent,
manifesting itself as decreasing
quality of life, increasing
health hazards, social chaos
etc. This calls in for a basic
change towards a more holistic
world view, healthier and harmonious
living. And this is what we
have got to offer.
Naturopathy believes
"All healing power is within
your body". It, therefore
advocates aiding the human system
to remove the causes of diseases,
i.e. Toxins, by expelling the
unwanted matter from the body
for curing the diseases. It
affirms that human body is not
an inert machine, which requires
external help whenever it fails
to function normally. It is
an all power living dynamo and
if given proper opportunity,
is capable of curing and preserving
itself. We fall ill only when
we go against nature.

Heals, while Yoga maintains

wheels of a cart".
