A few months back I happened to experience this amazing therapy, which has made me more healthy and have become more aware with regards to my eating habits. Thought of sharing a few insights on this amazing holistic process.
What is Naturopathy? Its a self-healing approach on treating few disorders and illness of all kinds, by stimulating the body's self-healing mechanism through food. YES. Food plays a major role in all our lives. Which we often ignore rather don't give much importance to it.
Naturopathy is one such practice which is as older than those conventional medicines, and are globally known for promoting and maintaining the body's long term optimal health. Naturopathy sets one's life and gives the proper direction in maintaining health and to lead a life in harmony. It is a highly individualized treatment that involves facilitating effective restoring techniques, self-care decisions, and much more which can prevent future health problems.
In brief, Naturopathy is an alternative to medicines, in the form of food combinations, natural herbs, and healthy practices just like how it was in our good olden days. This includes a diet of- 40% vegetables, fruits 500g per day. Specifically seasonal fruits. Plenty of green leafy vegetables in the form of smoothies. Recommended to have unpolished rice, millets. Avoid wheat, as it generates heat. Replace sugar with organic jaggery and raw honey. And lastly, use cast iron and earthen wear vessels as much as possible.
Preferably the diet should be something like this:-
1. 25% salads. (5 colours of raw vegetables and 5 types of leafy vegetables - in the form of chutney).
2. 25% steamed cooked vegetables.
3. Moong and tur dal
4. Sprouts.
5. Use only cold-pressed organic oil for cooking. And use only A2 fresh cow ghee.
Must avoid:- Milk products, panner, sugar, rice, wheat.
But one is advised to consult naturopathy specialist, as each person body has different dietary requirements, depending on each of our body type. I have seen and heard people suffering from a different hormonal disorder like PCOD, Thyroid etc, through naturopathy their medicines have stopped completely and there health getting better than before through this amazing process of healing.
When our body gets, a sufficient amount of nutrition automatically one's sleep pattern gets set. You will start feeling light from inside and feel more confident than before. Hence one should inculcate a healthy diet with minimum 40 minutes of exercises and yoga. Which has helped many patients to come out of there health conditions and started living a joyful life.
Hence take care of your health before its too late. After all, if health is there everything will fall in place automatically. Be healthy. Be safe.
