Naturopathy

Nature Cure Centres
Rajasthan continues to preserve and promote its traditional health-care system based on naturopathy and the Vedic approach to health. There are a number of nature cure and yoga centres that offer a system of health care with adequate facilities and diagnostic methods including steam bath, mud bath, rigorous dieting and physical exercises. Massages, treatments using herbs, and the ancient traditions of ayurveda and yoga add to the well-being of the body and the mind.

The practice of nature cure systems ensures the readjustment of the human system from abnormal to normal functions and conditions aimed at removing toxic matter from the body without damaging its vital organs. Dietary regulations ensure that acid-forming foods are eliminated from the system for a period of one week. A wholesome diet of fresh fruits and juices is prescribed, instead. After the stomach and alimentary canal have been disinfected, raw vegetables and sprouted whole-grain cereals help restore the body's equilibrium.

Hydrotherapy, or water baths at various temperatures, is also considered beneficial. Patients are made to sit in cold water baths to stimulate the nervous system, while warm water applications are considered relaxing. Similarly, fresh air, sunbathing, exercise and massage restore a semblance of balance to one's body. With adequate rest, meditation and fresh ingredients forming the diet, the body is nursed back to the way nature intended it to be.
