Welcome to this extraordinary approach to healing, which has many miraculous tales of recovery from distressing diseases. The Naturopathic Philosophy
Naturopaths usually follow three main principals when prescribing any treatment;
The body has the power to heal itself, so treatment should not be given to alleviate symptoms but rather to strengthen and support the self-healing mechanism itself. The symptoms of disease are not part of the diseases itself, but a sign that the body is striving to eliminate toxins and return to its natural state of balance or homeostasis. In addition to being as natural and gentle as possible, all treatments should take into account the mental, emotional, and social aspects of a person, as well as the physical traits. Mission: To research, develop, and disseminate the Naturopathy & Yoga System of medicine, which provides medical & rehabilitating effects for its patient. In addition aiding in the curing process to those afflicted with disease, it also has positive effects in terms of preventative illness within healthy subjects. Yoga:
Archeological evidence of Yoga dates back 5000 years, as evident from many ancient statues showing people in various Yoga postures, apparently meditating, which emphasizes that what we think of as yoga is only one part of a complete entire philosophical system of which the ultimate aim is enlightenment and oneness with the supreme being. In more modern terms we would refer to it as achieving and maintaining a balance state of peace and happiness. It is medically and scientifically proven at the physical and mental level that Yoga can be successfully used as a therapy by people who suffer from backache, arthritis or rheumatism. In fact yoga postures can help just about every physical ailment. It is also a means of encouraging relaxation, normalizing high blood pressure, helping state of anxiety or dealing with stress. Yoga is as effective today as it was thousands of years ago. Though modern interpretations of Yoga are recognized only for postures and physical fitness, it actually is a complete ancient science dedicated to the preservation of health within our body, mind, emotions and spirit. This teaching of healthy living was developed thousands of years ago and yet it is still valid today as a practical system of creating harmony and balance within our lives. Although yoga does contain the idea of reaching a plane of higher consciousness-yoga is not a religion, but rather a discipline of techniques and practices for creating total harmony of body, mind and spirit. Therefore, it is open to practice for everyone regardless of age, creed, religion etc. So it is the science of Relaxation. Yoga and sports medicine
