NATURAL CURE CENTER – NATUROPATHY CENTER INTRODUCTION:
In today’s world, there is a growing need for a holistic approach to health. Increasingly, people are frustrated with the answers given by their medical providers. We are prescribed a new medication for every symptom that arises. In this model, we become dependent on medications rather than addressing the cause of illness. In order to remedy this problem, we need to determine and address the underlying cause of dis-ease, thereby allowing health to arise naturally. Naturopathy is distinct method of healing, underpinned by a philosophical perspective which recognizes that all living forms possess a self r egulatory, inherent ability for self healing.
NEED:
Each person is unique and requires individualized care. In treating the cause of any condition, it takes into account not only your physical symptoms, but also mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, spiritual and other factors. Today’s world is going back to the nature in all aspects of their life from the construction to the health sector. There is increasing interest in Native traditional healers and the possibility of their working in some form of relationship with the allopathic medical system. It represents a resurgence of effort in an area of great potential benefit to the Native community, but is rife with issues that could destroy the effort at any number of stages in the process. Due to unavailability of all treatments under one institution, the demand for Natural cure centres have increased.

ACTIVITIES:
Naturopathy believes that the human body owes its existence to nature’s five elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether – a composite representation of all forces of nature. In positive health, each of these elements is in equilibrium. Any disturbances in this equilibrium due to any cause leads to disease. Naturopathy provides relief, prevention and cure of specific diseases through a non-invasive, drugless therapy which combines nature cure with yoga and other drugless therapies like physiotherapy, acupuncture, diet and behaviour change
