hello dearies , 

         Last few posts have been about beauty products,reviews,now to draw attention to my other passion naturopathy . For all of you who are not familiar with this branch of alternative medicine ,I will be discussing all the detailed information  under a series of blogposts called 

                                              

            "NATURE DIARIES"

 #1.WHAT IS NATUROPATHY?

  This term naturopathy has been created from "natura"(which is a latin root of birth) and "pathos"(the greek root for suffering)and the word implies or suggests natural healing. It is the art of living in harmony with nature .It is a form of alternative medicine/ diet& lifestyle counseling . according to naturopathy,we alienate ourselves from nature and adapt un natural lifestyle and eating habits,which cause various diseases and imbalance in our body.we can easily treat these problems through natural ways.so naturopathy basically propagates

"self dependence in matters of health"
"to live a disease free life"
"getting rid of medicine by adopting natural ways"



#2.what is the concept behind and principles of naturopathy?

  

It is an acient science which integrates the physical , mental and spiritual ,aspect of our natural      constitution,capacity to prevent and in some ways cure the diseases.

PRINCIPLES:
1.reason and remedies of all diseases are same : due to presence of intoxicants.
2 .intoxicants cause diseases not the bacteria,virus which simply feeds off them
3.nature itself is the best doctor,in naturopathy all levels of body are treated simultaneously and holistically
 
#3.what  are toxins ?
  when we eat treated food i.e.that  is different from its natural form and has been processed like cooked,fried , jams ,pickles ,the body takes longer to break it down and digest it and if the body is not successfully able to excrete what has not been digested it remains in the body and is called toxins.

#4.why are diseases caused?
although nature keeps extracting toxins out of the body ,it gets collected when detoxification or excretion of toxins is less than its accumulation. when toxins increase , various parts of body become non functional and germs flourish ,but nature takes them out in the form of acute diseases like fever , loose motion , vomiting ,cold , cough etc. when this process is suppressed by medicines the disease becomes chronic or deep rooted .

#5.why do toxins accumulate?
a) lack of balanced diet.
b)consumption of unmatched
 and unbalanced food.
c)spicy,heavy and fibreless food.
d)overeating.
e)eating late at night.
f)working beyond one"s physical and mental capacity without taking rest.
g)pollution
h)fear,anxiety,stress,anger.
i)remaining seated continuously
j)imbalance of body's five elements (space,air,sunshine,water and mud)
k)the process of extracting toxins is suppressed by medicines
l)suppressing the natural urges of the body like defecation, urination,vomiting,thirst,tears ,sleep,rest,hunger,yawning,sneezing,belching are few of the reasons.
