Healing Your Body Naturally

"Naturopathy" is a way of life.

It is a distinct philosophy and science which strengthens the age-old faith in the correction of bodily disorders and restoration of health through elements freely available in nature.

It brings home the basic fact that healing is brought about by the inherent curative powers of the body.

" Naturopathy" is a system of medicine aimed to diagnose and treat any human ailment, pain and injury through the use of natural elements, mainly 5 in number - Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth.

Naturopathists are adamant that all forms of disease are due to the same cause, that is - the accumulation of waste materials and toxins in our bodies that are steadily piling up.

One of the main principles of Naturopathy is that "disease is one, its cause is one and so its treatment is one."

• Natural means - Our body is made up of cells, some of which continuously die and are replaced by new ones. The old dead cells are foreign material to the body and need to be eliminated. In addition, processes of the living cells also generate toxic wastes due to metabolic reactions.
• Unnatural means - Wrong ways of life also cause production of excess toxins. Eating unhealthy foods, drinking too much alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and taking too many OTC or prescription drugs all add toxins to your body.

When these toxins are not eliminated at a reasonably fast rate, a diseased condition is created. It can range from a minor headache, to colds and flu, to allergies, to migraines, or in the extreme, to serious diseases like emphysema and cancer.

Germs do not cause disease but are found breeding in the accumulating waste matter in the body. In a healthy body, having normal secretions and excretions, the germs cannot find a breeding ground and are destroyed by the antibodies present in the secretions. There have been extensive experiments to prove this.

"Just as mud cannot stick to a smooth, oily surface... similarly, germs cannot blemish a healthy body."

Germs are part of the result of disease and not the cause. Naturopathy recognizes this. Instead of concentrating its energy on killing germs, the activity of which we cannot escape when the conditions are ripe, naturopathy attempts to invigorate the system, to build up blood and lymph, and to purify the tissues so that germ activity is rendered inconsequential.

Exercise - both physical and mental - help greatly in removing harmful toxins. Exercises provide for a greater intake of oxygen and help in improving blood circulation. Organ massage also takes place.

Something as simple as walking a mile or two several times a day can provide huge health benefits. Weight bearing exercises build muscle and bone mass, which can help prevent injury.

Yoga provides for an extremely beneficial and complete method aimed at total body and mind health. Strengthening the body framework is all well and good, but without a balanced and peaceful inner spirit, your body is out of balance, thus creating ripe conditions for disease to flourish. In fact, an unbalanced mind is a disease unto itself.

Studies have shown that strenuous exercise at least three times a week can help, and sometimes even reverse, depression and depression related illnesses.

One benefit of exercise that is not talked about enough is sweating. Sweating releases toxins from your body through your skin, as was intended by nature. If toxins are carried out of your body by sweat, they do not have to travel through your kidneys, which are your last line of defense against disease. When too many toxins are stored in your kidneys, it can cause an imbalance that affect every part of your body.

"The greatest harm of drug treatment is usually not so much the toxicity or side effects as it is the effects of suppression. Allopathic (conventional Western) medical thinking generally seeks immediate gratification: just make the symptom go away. So the patient may be better in the short term, but is usually worse in the longer term."

Alexander Fleming, the scientist who discovered penicillin, cautioned against the overuse of antibiotics. Unless the scientific community and the general public heed his warning, Harvard professor Walter Gilbert, a Nobel prizewinner in chemistry, asserted, "There may be a time down the road when 80% to 90% of infections will be resistant to all known antibiotics."

Frighteningly, we are seeing this happen today. Everyone is in a hurry to get well, to get the kids well, to do whatever it takes to not have to inconvenience their lives. By over-drugging our children, we are making them more susceptible to diseases that are much worse than the occasional cold or flu.
