10 Principles of Naturopathy

Principles of Naturopathy

There are many principles of naturopathy. But 10 of them are the main ones. Which are being described next.

1. All diseases are one, their cause is one, their treatment is also one:

Rabindranath Tagore has written at one place that there is always an effort of the country of India that it wants to establish unity in diversity, it wants to move towards the same goal by turning many paths in the world. He wants to make available any one of the many without a doubt. Its purpose is that which external variation is visible. By removing that difference, the mysterious coincidence that happens within him. He should get it.

The above statement of Rabindranath ji is true, the reason for this is that it has come in our scriptures that 'Ekmevadvitiyam brahman' means Brahma is one and not the other. This Advaita principle has a special place in all the philosophies.

Naturopathy is also a philosophy. And this is the first principle of this philosophy. All diseases have one cause, one medicine. Just as a true object manifests itself in different forms. Just as a gold appears in different names and forms. Similarly, it is the principle of natural medical science that the same foreign matter located in the human body appears in the form of many diseases by different names.

According to the above principle, the human body is one and integral. The whole human being is one and integral. The whole world is one and integral. The whole universe is one and integral. The one rule that binds the whole brahmin into one rule and one thread is also one. And this is the meaning of 'Sarvakhalvidam Brahman'. This philosophical principle of unity is also the main principle of naturopathy.

If we carefully observe and consider all the diseases that occur in human beings, then we will see a uniformity in all those diseases. All diseases, though many, are actually one. The difference is visible only in their form and type. This can be better understood through an illustration. Suppose four people live in a house. who lead a completely unnatural life. Use of stimulants and drugs. They eat extravagant things by choking them in large quantities. Do not exercise, as a boon of nature, do not take proper sunlight, pure air, pure water etc. The result is this. that their blood becomes toxic. The body is filled with contaminated substances, which we call foreign matter in the language of medicine and the result is that if not today then tomorrow those people have to be sick. So that through those diseases, the body can take out the foreign matter inside itself and the body can become healthy again.

According to the circumstances, their age and physical nature etc., each of those four beings cannot have the same disease. Rather, different diseases arise in everyone's body. Some may start having diarrhea. Anyone can get fever. Some may have gout and some may have piles. All these diseases seem different from each other on seeing. But in reality they are the same because the reason for all is the same i.e. the accumulation of foreign matter in the body.

Now what is the work of the patient and his doctor in the process of excretion of nature's excreta which happens in case of man being sick. Their work should be to cooperate with nature in the elimination of excreta, that is, fasting, diet, hydrotherapy, increasing vitality and making this welfare process easy by opening all the avenues of excretion.

Thus, we see that all the diseases of the world are in fact the same. And because of them, diagnosis and treatment are also the same. Most of the time it is seen that a patient comes to a naturopathic doctor for the treatment of one of his particular diseases. But he comes to know when he is getting medical treatment. That and many other diseases have come to the fore which were not visible earlier and, in the end, he becomes completely healthy because it does not cure only the disease but cures the whole body. All diseases are cured by the same naturopathy.

2. Disease does not cause germs:

It is clear from the discussion of the first principle that the cause of diseases is nothing but the foreign matter in the body. It is totally unreasonable to assume germs to be the cause of disease. But in allopathy, the germ is considered to be the cause of the disease.

In fact, the reality is that all types of germs present in the world cannot live in our body. It is far from a matter of developing them and causing disease. Because our body is not fit for germs to live in. The medium needed for germs to grow is not there in a healthy body, and when there is no medium, how will they thrive. Due to our wrong diet, we eat and drink unnecessarily considering our stomach as a garbage can. Due to which the level of foreign matter in the body increases progressively and germs grow in that foreign matter.

One of the laws of nature is that all matter is present in the universe. All these microscopic atoms are constantly moving in the atmosphere. Molecules in which the motion of the atoms is the same. They have mutual attraction. And whose speed is opposite. They run away from each other. If we look according to the theory, then we will find that the germs of disease exist in those bodies. The bodies in which the foreign matter is already present due to disease. That is, where there is dirt, germs will grow and develop there.

On the contrary, in those bodies which will have nutrients unlike germs, that is, those which will be completely free from foreign matter and will be really healthy in the true sense, it is impossible for germs to attack as per the above rules and even if it is assumed that healthy body There is also an attack of germs of diseases. Even then, the toxic effect of germs will automatically get eliminated by the restraining power of a healthy body. Because germs will not get their food and land to grow so that they will not be able to live in such a body. Thus we see that the cause of disease is not germs. Rather, diseases are the reason for attracting germs.

3. Acute diseases are friends not enemies of the body:

A well-known naturopathic doctor has said that you give me fever and I will give you health, that is to say, to make a body full of stools, free from stool, acute diseases like fever, diarrhea, cold etc. are the only true remedies. Due to wrong food habits in our body, foreign matter is always formed. Which get out of the body along with ordinary stools. But when this process is obstructed or the body is unable to remove these highly contaminated substances from the body along with normal faeces. Then the body tries to flush out those toxins through acute diseases. The logic behind calling acute diseases as friends is that they arise only to make our body pure and pure.

For example, suppose that nature has to remove the stools from our stomach, then it can do this work by causing vomiting or diarrhea.

What we know by the name of acute diseases is not actually the disease but the treatment of the disease, in the case of being a patient, we should see the mistakes made by us and there should be a feeling in the mind that we should atone for the mistakes we did. We have to do that which is only for our good. If these disorders remained in the body and we continued to make mistakes like this, then how dire their consequences could have been. Therefore, it is meant to say that we should not be afraid of acute disease, but should welcome it. Like other medical systems, in naturopathy, the disease is not treated as an enemy and is fought against it. Because disease in itself is not something to be fought. The absence of health is called disease. If you try to build health, the disease itself ends.

All the above statements are true, but then the question arises that why do people die due to disease, the answer is that there is very little life force left in the patient or the foreign matter has accumulated in excessive amount in the whole body which is the disease is caused by repeated suppression of the drug. Or the treatment of the disease has been inadequate or incorrect. In these circumstances nature fails to do its cleaning work. Due to which the patient dies. The pleasure that is found in sleeping after being tired, which is found in eating food when hungry. The peace that comes from the name of Ram and patience when calamity comes, is the same happiness and peace that comes after getting freedom from disease. A heavy burden has been lifted from the mind. If this realization is not there, then it should be understood that there has been an obstacle in the favour that Prakriti wanted to do to the body by acute disease.

4. Nature itself is the doctor:

Naturopathy believes that our life is governed by a strange and almighty force. The one who lives with each life and sees all things like its birth and death, disease health etc. When there is an excess of foreign substances, that power understands the need to cause disease in the body. Then it creates disease and again the same power frees us from that disease and also provides health. Medicine is the power that resides within our body. That is what maintains our health. Lord Shri Krishna has said in Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta that

“Aham Vaishvanaro Bhutva Praninaam Dehmashritah”.

Pranapan Samayukta: Pachamyannam Chaturvidham. 15/14 Geeta

That is, I am freed from the action of prana and apana equation and exclusion by becoming a veswanar fire in the body of beings. One) I digest the Choshya (the one who drinks). Therefore, all the actions in the body are due to the presence of that one inherent energy. That power not only destroys mental disorders but also removes physical disorders.

When we think about how nature has created the human body. So we can't live without being surprised. Whatever the organ, heart, brain, nervous system, he could not remain astonished to see the great skill he showed in building it and making arrangements for fulfilling the needs. God has prepared all the necessary things within this small body for its maintenance and through these things, in case of disease of the body, the life force suppresses diseases by the combination of these things. And from birth till death, this power continues to work for the creation and improvement of the body. It is absolutely irrational that the God who gave birth to us should provide us with all kinds of pleasures, but when we are sick, he should not give us the power to get rid of it.

But the truth is that every living being is born in this world with such power, with the help of which it can protect its health itself.

Some examples are presented to prove that nature itself is the doctor. When water enters the air pipe while drinking water, then who produces cough and cures it? When tobacco and other poisonous things go into the stomach, then who takes them out through vomit. When there is a wound, how does it heal without a doctor, who comes and joins it when the bone is broken. The doctor just ties him upright. But when she joins, she is herself.

We must remember that diseases heal themselves. No external object cures them, the same things which are present in the body are also helpful from outside. We take other things in vain. If we think about the use of medicines, then we will find that they are only stopping the disease from progressing. Nature is not doing it right. The work of nature is to remove the disorder itself. He doesn't need anything else for this. We or the doctor are only his associates who cooperate with nature in this work. Hence it is proved that nature is the real healer.

5. Medicine is not for the disease but for the whole body of the patient:

Naturopathy never cures any particular disease, rather it is committed to the welfare of the whole body. Whereas other methods focus only on the treatment of diseases. And mainly do symptomatic therapy. By adopting naturopathy, when the whole body is treated, the signs of the disease themselves end. Which other methods know from disease benefits. Naturopathy treats them as mere signs of diseases. Because the real disease is the extraneous matter or poison accumulated unnecessarily in the body. One who takes time and tries to get out of the body by a particular process (disease). Therefore, the treatment should not be of the sign of the disease but of the cause for which it is a sign or in simple words, the treatment should not be of the disease but of the whole body. One reason for this is that foreign matter is present throughout our body. where it is most abundant. Disease related to that particular organ arises. If we treat that particular organ and remove the foreign matter from there, then it can collect in other places also and cause disease. Because we have taken it out from a particular place and not from the whole body.

Naturopathy can cure all diseases but not all patients, there are five main reasons by which every patient cannot be cured.

1. What is the amount of foreign matter present in the patient's body.

2. Whether it has enough vitality to cure disease or not.

3. For how long has the patient been getting treatment, whether his patience is not responding.

4. Whether fatal drugs were given to the patient before starting naturopathy or whether there was any major operation or not.

5. Whether the patient has faith in naturopathy or not.

The above description indicates the fact that the disease is definitely cured by natural medicine, it is a different matter that every patient is not cured due to lack of vitality. The reason for the cure of every disease is that when the treatment is done by naturopathy then that treatment is for the whole body. Due to which along with one disease, other hidden diseases of the body are also cured automatically. Because medicine is about the cause of the diseases and not the symptoms. All these facts corroborate the theory presented.

6. No Specific Diagnosis Needs:

As it has been said earlier that medicine is not for the disease but for the whole body. What is the need of diagnosis in this situation and if diagnosis is to be done then it can be done only after seeing? It does not require expensive equipment. There is also an argument for the need for diagnosis that if nature wanted the physician to be able to see people's internal organs and their functions for diagnosis, then in a diseased or diseased state, he would not have an opaque shell. flesh in the human body. Rather the body was laid with such a transparent membrane that the disturbances within the body could be easily seen.

This proves that nature itself does not want anyone to spend their time and money for diagnosis. Man has made many instruments to pull out the diagnosis. They have not been able to unearth all the mysteries of nature and the divine. So how can they be expected to be completely correct in their diagnosis. This is why most of their diagnoses turn out to be wrong. Now it can be gauged from the fact that how correct the treatment will be with the wrong diagnosis. First the diagnosis is wrong then the medicine is wrong then how can we say that the patient can be cured by this. As a result, the patient has to suffer. Even if it is assumed that the correct diagnosis of the disease can also be done. But it is not that the disease can be cured only by getting the diagnosis, the experience of the big doctors in this subject shows that even after getting the correct diagnosis in the treatment by medicine, this therapy does not have any special effect on many diseases. Does matter. In contrast, many diseases turn into a chronic stage during treatment and some of them are declared incurable.

In this situation, naturopathy is the best method which does not lay special emphasis on diagnosis and does not depend on it. Even if there is a minor diagnosis, there is no chance of any kind of mistake or mistake to progress the disease.

In naturopathy, the cause of diseases is believed to be accumulation of foreign substances. For diagnosis, a naturopath just needs to see in which part of the body that foreign substance collects. He could be next. It can be on the front, back, face, neck or all over the body. Diagnosis is also made after observing the physical condition of the patient and hearing from his mouth.

One of the major differences between doctors' diagnosis and naturopathy is that doctors spend a lot of time acquiring knowledge of the diagnosis, mainly by tearing up the dead. But naturopaths know the cause of the disease within minutes by looking at the changes taking place in the body and the actions taking place in it.

In this way we see that there is no fear of going astray or mistake in the diagnostic method of naturopathy and it is a very simple process. Whatever a common man can do. Therefore, diagnosis is not given much importance in naturopathy.

7. It takes time to cure chronic diseases:

Once Dr. Lindahar while attacking naturopathy was said by one of his opponents that by taking naturopathy treatment, the patients get cured in a very long time and the patients get tired while undergoing treatment. To this he immediately said that it is the only illusion that patients recover very quickly, but all the medical systems available today work at the fastest speed. But our biggest problem is that we only get patients of incurable diseases who have become depressed everywhere.

The biggest problem of naturopathy is that only people come for it. One who is not only afflicted with raga, but also has poison in his body from the medicines taken in the past. Because of this, the naturopath has to not only treat the disease, but also remove all those toxins from the body. Which can take months, two months and sometimes even years.

Staying healthy in this system means not only getting rid of disease but also gaining a new life. So in this method we cannot say that the disease will be cured immediately. It takes a lot of time. All the works of nature do not happen rapidly but slowly. Just like after sowing the seed, you have to wait. Then, as a result of that waiting, that seed becomes a plant and becomes a tree. If we sow a seed because of our quick habit and see the next day that it does not grow and then uproot it and sow it in another place and keep repeating the same process, that seed will never grow, but after a time It will lose the power to grow. , We do the same with our body. The patient did not go to the doctor, took medicine for a few days, did not get better, then went to another doctor and did it there. By doing this slowly I have shown to many doctors that how many medicines I have taken, I do not know and all the poison of medicines has filled my veins and veins, finally came to naturopath, now you yourself think that How can he help us immediately. can fix. But still naturopathy cures very effectively. Due to which the patient starts feeling normal in a very short time and he feels that he is cured. Due to which he leaves the treatment in the middle due to his hasty habit and because of this he becomes patient again after some time and blames naturopathy. While the fault is his. For example, suppose a sick person has lost all of his or her vitality while taking medicine and getting injections. Still his disease could not be cured. Rather he turned from a simple disease to an incurable disease. His blood turned poisonous. The strength of the nerves decreased. In the excretion of feces, the digestion process starts getting obstructed. No therapy can cure such a patient immediately, if such a patient gets cured even in years, then he should give thanks to God as a blessing.

There is no doubt that it is natural for a patient suffering from extreme pain to lose patience as he recovers quickly from the disease. But here the naturopath must recognize that the patient's inability to be patient is also a part of his illness and the patient should be patient while paying attention to it. And its treatment should also be continued with continued benefit.

From all the above descriptions and examples it becomes clear that a lot of patience is required in curing one's disease. Because in this therapy it takes more time to cure chronic diseases.

8. Suppressed diseases emerge in naturopathy:

According to this theory suppressed diseases come to the fore but the diseases are suppressed by drug therapy. As the name suggests, drug or suppressive, then it is clear that drug therapy does not eliminate the disease but suppresses it, but naturopathy does not suppress the disease, but destroys the disease completely by provoking it. gives. Emergence in medical parlance means an acute form of a disease, an exacerbation of a chronic disease, a rapid response to that disease at an appropriate time during the treatment period of a chronic disease, or a disease due to the strong vitality achieved by naturopathy. Be ready to go away forever and for a short time or show a severe form, then leave the patient forever. If there is a bulge in the body for two to four days or more, then in a week the patient is left in a healthy state and goes away. Lifting is a unique action in itself. In this, whatever diseases occur in the body, they are suppressed in sequence. They emerge in reverse order and are destroyed one by one. Also an interesting fact is that the difference in the progression of two diseases is the number to be subtracted by dividing it by 7. For example, the patient had diarrhoea earlier, he was suppressed by the medicine, he also had pain. Suppressed, also suppressed fever, then when the bulge starts after doing naturopathy, the first fever will come out in 7 or 14 days and will end after 7 days. After 14 or 21 days, the pain will emerge and go away and finally the disease of diarrhea will appear and the patient will recover completely. There may be exceptions to this principle. As seen in other theories as well. But most of them are seen as such.

Thus we see that nature has to work for a certain period of time to increase the suppressed diseases. One after another, one third after another, and so on, and so on, and preparations are made after each bulge. Take for example the malarial fever which comes back and forth. When treated with naturopathy, the fever persists for a few days. Every rise here should be considered a boon for health.

Two forces of nature work in the operation of the universe. One constructive and the other destructive, in natural remedies the creative force of nature creates disease free distress in the patient and makes him disease free. And the destructive power causes death by creating a devastating disease crisis in the patient. This condition arises when the foreign matter located in the patient's body is not able to get out of the body through feces, urine, sweat etc., as a result of which the patient dies and this death occurs only. It occurs when the level of stool in the body increases so much that the healing power of the body cannot remove it.

This stage of emergence is not only in relation to disease but is found everywhere throughout the world. For example, during the summer days, the heat and humidity increase greatly. But after some time wind definitely starts blowing or strong storm starts coming or it starts raining and we get peace from the heat. Naturopathic doctor Dr. Lindalhar has even considered wars and revolutions to be a healthy condition related to the life of the states.

When we clean our room, for some time only dust is visible in the room. But after the dust is removed, the room becomes cleaner than before. All kinds of acute diseases like fever, diarrhoea, smallpox, cholera etc., eliminate the expulsion of stool from our body filled with stool very quickly by the body's vitality. We may call it the acute form, exacerbation or acute palliative crisis of the disease.

Thus it can be said that how beneficial and necessary it is to cure the disease by doing naturopathy. Instead of worrying about it, be happy. At the same time, it is also true that calling the bulge early and bringing it into a serious form is not justified. Because working in haste at this time can harm. Here also the same law of nature should be allowed to apply in which nature does all its work slowly. It has been seen that often disturbing bulges have been seen during the treatment of the same patients who have taken many poisonous medicines before the treatment. Would have done The above points confirm the theory that suppressed ailments are picked up by naturopathy and then pacified. So that diseases do not come again.

9. Simultaneous Healing of Mind, Body and Spirit:

The state of complete health should be understood only when our body, mind and soul are completely healthy, in naturopathy special care is taken of health not only in the body but at these three levels because they are connected to each other in such a way. Huh. , that if one has a disorder or one is ill, the other also becomes diseased or suffers, if there is a disease in the body and is not cured in time, it causes great pain to the mind and if the mind is in a trouble-free state If so, then man is unable to strive for spiritual peace and well-being, which causes suffering to the mind as well as the soul. Similarly, when the soul suffers, the mind and then the body also suffers. This process goes on both sides equally.

Naturopathic doctors consider mental health to be more important than physical health and consider the place of spiritual power to be superior to both. The great philosopher Socrates used to say that if a man is only strong, then there is no specialty in him. There are no dead human beings, only dead bodies. But there is an inseparable connection between the body of the living man and his mind. Together, both should be considered as one, their development is not possible separately. One who has growth of mind and strength of body. That person moves towards happiness. In Naturopathy, we not only pay attention to the diseases of the body, but also take care of our living, eating habits, etc., due to which we move towards spiritual progress.

It is absolutely true that if man understands and adopts not only naturopathy but also the entire natural philosophy, then cruelty, demon city, animalism will end from the whole world at once and this earth will become painless like heaven. For the treatment of man's sick body, weak soul and perverted mind, Ish Prarthana or Ram Naam is an infallible panacea in naturopathy for the treatment of these three.

10. The question of giving stimulants in natural remedies does not arise at all:

The principle of drug therapy is that disease is something outside the body that has attacked the body and which is our worst enemy. So we must fight and defeat him by using the most powerful means. For this reason, doctors use poisonous medicines like conch shell, para opium etc. to fight diseases. But they do not pay any attention to the fact that poison is poison after all, whether its quantity is less or more, it is fatal for the body in any case. How can it benefit the body? This is the reason that instead of getting cured day by day, the diseases become serious. The use of medicines in naturopathy is not only considered unnecessary but also considered extremely dangerous. The reason for this is that the principle of naturopathy is exactly the opposite of the above method. In naturopathy, disease is not considered a foreign object but a body object and the disease is cured by natural means. The power of the body which gives us good health, as well as frees us from diseases.

Medicines do not contain the necessary nutrients for the body. The reaction felt in the body by using them. It is not a reaction to drugs, in fact it is of that body. In which they enter lifeless drugs. Can drugs have an effect on a dead person? No way . The question is, how does our body deal with the side effects of medicines, our body always tries to flush out the unnecessary wastes inside us as soon as possible. Because they are unnecessary as well as harmful to the body.

When we do not consume specially poisonous medicines in healthy condition, how can we consume them when we are sick and in such condition these medicines are given to them by doctors. It is clear how drugs that harm a state of health can benefit us when we are sick. It is clear from the fourth principle of naturopathy that nature is the doctor. That is, nature gives freedom from diseases, not with medicine.

This is the true and correct definition of medicine, which is different from the definition of physicians. According to this definition all those substances which are full of vitality will be called medicine, but keep in mind that food first and then medicine.

 

Thus, we have gathered knowledge about 10 natural principles on which all naturopathy rests. With the help of these principles, today this system is moving forward on the path of progressive progress and is becoming more developed and enforced day by day. By following the laws of nature, all these principles are automatically followed. Because these rules are of nature, so the one who follows them is always healthy and happy.
