Naturopathy- A key to healthy living

In this present era, we come across numerous types of diseases owing to untimely diet, junk food, heredity, lack of regular exercise and what not?... And for each of these diseases that can sometimes prove to be fatal, there happen to be a large number and varieties of treatments. Naturopathy has been gaining popularity in the last couple of years owing to its effectiveness and safety.
Naturopathy is totally an alternative medicine employing a wide array of natural treatments, including homeopathy, acupuncture, herbalism as well as proper diet (nutrition) and moulding a healthy lifestyle. Naturopathy says that there are cures for almost all diseases in the nature itself and it generally avoids the use of surgery and drugs. It is based on a belief in vitalism and self-healing rather than evidence based medicine. "Living in harmony with the nature" is the ultimate aim of naturopathy. Naturopathic practice is based on a belief in the body's ability to heal itself through a special vital energy or force guiding bodily processes internally. Diagnosis and treatment concern primarily alternative therapies and "natural" methods that naturopaths claim promote the body's natural ability to heal.
Kerala, a state in India is well known for Naturopathy and Nature cure. Numerous people come to these centres and go with a relief they never got from the conventional medicine. I would like to share my experience about my recent visit to a Nature Cure center at Cochin, Ernakulam. People coming there for treatment generally suffers diabetes, blood pressure(low and high), over-weight, bone diseases, etc. Some even come there to try out a different life style quite different from their usual. I have heard many people say giving  a positive feedback about the treatment and most of them come back again and motivate others to try it out.
The treatment duration should at-least be for a period of  14 days to show visible effects. I would like to explain the various treatments I underwent while staying there.

YOGA

A typical day at the treatment center starts with prayer and yoga. The science of Yoga imbibe itself the complete essence of the Way of Life, including - Gyan Yoga or philosophy, Bhakti Yoga or path of devotional bliss, Karma Yoga or path of blissful action, and Raja Yoga or path of mind control. These are actually only the most superficial aspect of this profound science of unfolding the infinite potentials of the human mind and soul. In Yoga, various postures and asanas help in relieving physical as well as mental ailments.



MUD Bath

Mud is an important element of nature cure. It contains many important minerals which have positive effects on human health. Mud can absorb various toxins from human body and is therefore very useful in preventing quite a lot of diseases. It is also known for its healing properties and it also helps in cooling and relaxing body as it can hold moisture for a long time. It relaxes muscles and improves blood circulation, maintains metabolism rendering positive impact on digestion. It is useful in conditions of inflammation/ swelling and relieves pain, is a good hair conditioner and is good for skin. It is useful in condition of stiff joints


Steam Bath

In this treatment, steam is exposed to spines and other parts of the body uniformly in a very scientific way. The temperature of the steam can be adjusted and maintained as per requirements of the patient. It helps in removing toxins from the skin.



Spine Bath

This treatment involves immersing the spinal cord in hot or cold water(as directed) for around 10 minutes. This basically helps in relaxing the spine. While undergoing spine bath, make sure to use a wet cloth to cover the head to avoid it getting heated up.

Hip Bath

This treatment involves immersing hip region in a tub in hot or cold water as directed for around 20 minutes followed by taking a bath. While undergoing hip bath, make sure to use a wet cloth to cover the head to avoid it getting heated up.

In addition to all this, various other treatments like massage,acupuncture, magnet therapy, eye-nose wash etc are also provided daily. The diet is fully vegetarian such that the food intake is alkaline, which our body prefers. 
I am sure that all these treatments can help rejuvenating oneself and help in regaining health. The contact details of the Nature cure centre are as follows:

St. Tresa's Nature Cure & Yoga Ashram
Kurumassery P.O., Moozhikkulam, Angamali, Kerala, India.
