What is Naturopathy, never heard of it before?

Naturopathy is a system of medicine recognised under Indian System of Medicine. Naturopathy is based on the principle that all diseases are caused due to accumulation of waste material and toxins in the body and hence can be treated in similar way by reducing the toxins. As simple as it may sound, it is perhaps the most profound medical science that focuses on root cause of the disease and heals from within. It uses the inherent healing capacity of body and supports it by using elements of Nature.

Naturopathic Doctors train extensively in the conventional medical sciences as well as in clinical nutrition, diet, botanical medicine, physical medicine, hydrotherapy, and counseling.
