What is Naturopathy


Naturopathy is to cure the disease naturally that was caused because of going against naturally ways.

The following are considered as principles of Naturopathy:

2) Drink natural drinks like tender coconut, take food only when hungry and take fast if not hungry
3) Live with good thoughts and good habits
4) Excrete the body wastes that were caused by artificial means and practice food taking disciplines.
5) Drinking water when thirsty is natural drink. Drink tender coconut or milk as natural drinks.
6) Fresh un-boiled vegetables are natural foods. Foods should not be over cooked and should not contain spicy items.
7) Coffee, Cocoa, cola and soda are not natural foods.
8) Vegetarian food is natural food. Fish, meat, eggs and chicken are not natural foods.
