The Five Basic Principles of Naturopathy

There are five basic principles which form the cornerstone of Naturopathy.

1) Disease is one only.

2) The cause of disease is Toxification

3) The Remedy is Detoxification

4) The symptoms of disease are not disease

5) Disease is friend, not enemy.

It is due to the toxins accumulating in the body physiologic which is responsible for the disease. That is Toxification. Removing those toxins is Detoxification or Detox. Toxins are removed normally by Pancha Karma Therapy - by Vamanam ( vomitting ), Virechanam ( purgation ), Vasthi ( enema ), Raktha Moksham and Nasyam ( Nasal Therapy ) in Ayurveda. In Naturopathy correct diet is prescribed and if the native takes in vegetables and fruits and fasts once a week, toxins will disappear from the body. The symptoms of disease are not disease itself. Disease is actually our friend, as the Wisdom of the Body warns us that our bodies are infested with toxins ! For instance, the heat of the fever destroys toxins. The Wisdom of the Body purges all toxins and these come as disease !
