The whole concept of Naturopathy and Yoga revolves around toxic matter theory. Let me take you briefly, into our not so recent past where our grandmothers used home remedies to treat their loved ones. Now coming back to the recent past, when people did not hesitate to pop in a pill/ medicines for fever and other aches and pains only to later realize that all these medicines have side effects. It’s in past five years or so there has been a paradigm shift, where the world took notice of Alternative system of medicine as the 1^st line of treatment. Why do we fall sick? When our body’s defense mechanism is weakened by the accumulation of toxic matter in the body and mind, the vital force is also depleted which translates itself in some form of acute disease. If I put it in simple words, each and every individual has the inherent potential, to recover itself back to health if provided with conducive advice and environment. For this we need to understand why the body accumulates toxic matter and then accordingly take all the necessary precautions to avoid accumulating it further. Any form of disease arises, when we move away from nature and overindulge in addictions of various kinds (too much screen time, alcohol, smoking, drugs etc.), also physical as well as mental stress, wrong diet and lifestyle choices so on and so forth are other related causes of disease. Body tries to get rid of the toxins and it tries to do it by showing signs of fever, cold, cough, aches and pains etc. If we suppress these symptoms and do not assist the body to get rid of the accumulated toxins, it will over a period of time come back with vengeance in the form of chronic disorder. A qualified Naturopathy and Yoga practitioner, will give enough time to a patient to understand the patient’s condition. Every individual is unique and comes from different socio-economic, cultural, as well as genetic background. Qualified Naturopathy and yoga doctor, has adequate knowledge of the human body, its co relation between organ systems coupled with the knowhow of mind body relation as well as knowledge of lifestyle disorders. They can appropriately advice the patient on the changes required in his daily life-style and habits. There is a regular follow up on the patient’s condition and accordingly changes are made in the Naturopathy and Yoga treatments. Main aim of the treatments is to enable our body to regains its vital force. This vital force also called as vitality, is what we need to conserve, so as to prevent diseases and remain healthy. It is the vitality that translates itself into immunity of the person, which ensures that the body is in good health. As per W.H.O. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. When we further try to understand the definition of health, it’s not limited to absence of disease, we also take into account the mental, emotional and spiritual state of the person, which is not evident in day to day behavior. Each and every person has some sort of stress in life, which if exceeds, more that the individual’s capacity to comfortably deal with, will eventually manifest itself in some or the other disorder or disease on the physical level. Having said that, toxins are not limited to the physical state but also mental discord is a kind of stress. Doctor’s focus is to understand the root cause of the disease and eliminate it. The profession of a Naturopathy and Yoga doctor is that of a good lifestyle counselor too, for which a lot of patience and dedication is required. The good news is the world recognizes the benefits of following this preventive and restorative effects of this field of lifestyle medicine. It is always advisable to go for alternative system of medicine in acute diseases and take advantage of conventional system of medicine or Allopathy only and only in emergencies. The Alternative system of medicine has evolved over a period of time from just an instinctive knowledge to scientific rationale behind why, what when and how the treatment is given. This change will benefit the health of the mankind, in great way.
