CareersAyurveda - The original Naturopathy
The origin of Naturopathy can be traced right back to the Vedic period wherein the dietary principles (Pathya and Ahara) and the principles of health (Swastha Vurtha) described in Ayurveda have branched out and developed in the form of modern day Naturopathy. Ayurveda has the most comprehensive knowledge of nutritional treatment of diseases involving energetics, right food combinations, frequency, right preparation, seasonal effects etc which all affect healing at the physical, mental and spiritual level.
Ayurveda focuses on absolute perfect health and not disease; it embraces all areas of life including health, career, relationships and universal spirituality. Experienced Ayurvedic practitioners can achieve wonderful (some would say miraculous) results through sophisticated detoxification processes, lifestyle advice, diet, exercise and herbal therapy.
