What is Naturopathy?

Naturopathic medicine is a system that uses natural remedies to help the body heal itself. It embraces many therapies, including herbs, massage, acupuncture, exercise, and nutritional counselling.

The goal of naturopathic medicine is to treat the whole person -- that means mind, body, and spirit. It also aims to heal the root causes of an illness -- not just stop the symptoms.

A naturopathic doctor may spend 1 to 2 hours examining you. They’ll ask questions about your health history, stress levels, and lifestyle habits. They may order lab tests.

Afterwards, they will typically discuss your personal health plan. Naturopathic medicine focuses on education and prevention, so your doctor may give you diet, exercise, or stress management tips. They might use complementary medicine -- like homeopathy, herbal medicine, and acupuncture -- in addition to naturopathic treatments. They may also use touch, such as massage and pressure, to create balance in your body. This is called naturopathic manipulative therapy.

What is Yoga?

Yoga is essentially a spiritual discipline based on an extremely subtle Science which focuses on bringing harmony between mind and body. It is an art and science for healthy living. The word "Yoga" is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj meaning "to join", "to yoke" or "to unite".

According to Yogic scriptures, the practice of Yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness with universal consciousness. According to modern scientists, everything in the universe is just a manifestation of the same quantum firmament. One who experiences this oneness of existence is said to be "in Yoga" and is termed as a yogi who has attained a state of freedom, referred to as Mukti, nirvāna, kaivalya or moksha.

"Yoga" also refers to an inner science comprising of a variety of methods through which human beings can achieve union between the body and mind to attain self-realisation. The aim of Yoga practice (sādhana) is to overcome all kinds of sufferings that lead to a sense of freedom in every walk of life with holistic health, happiness and harmony.

Naturopathy and Yoga

Yoga and naturopathy are medicinal systems that aim to promote health and prevent and treat illness by addressing the mind, body, and spirit:

Yoga

A Hindu philosophical tradition that focuses on the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of the human body. Yoga practices include yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation. Yoga can help improve circulation, manage the senses, and promote a sense of tranquillity.

Naturopathy

A natural-principles-based healing concept that emphasizes the body's ability to heal itself. Naturopathy treatments include herbal medicine, nutrition, hydrotherapy, lifestyle counselling, acupuncture, acupressure, fasting therapy, mud therapy, chiropractic, and osteopathy. The World Health Organization (WHO) is working to recognize yoga and naturopathy as scientific treatments.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda (a Sanskrit word that means "science of life" or "knowledge of life") is one of the world's oldest whole-body healing systems. It was developed more than 5,000 years ago in India.

Ayurveda is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, spirit, and environment. The main goal of ayurvedic medicine is to promote good health and prevent, not fight, disease. But treatments may be geared toward specific health problems.

An ayurvedic practitioner will create a treatment plan specifically designed for you. They’ll take into account your unique physical and emotional makeup, and your primary and secondary doshas. They will use that information to work toward the goal of treatment, which is to bring your mind and body into balance.

There are several tools used in ayurvedic medicine to help you create harmony, avoid disease, and treat conditions you may have. These include:

  • Herbal medicine. A key component of ayurveda, it's used in different combinations, depending on your dosha, and includes licorice, red clover, ginger, and turmeric.
  • Yoga
  • Meditation
  • Purification programs. Also known as panchakarma, these are used to cleanse your body of undigested food through practices like blood purification, massage, medical oils, herbs, enemas, and laxatives.
  • Counselling. Your practitioner will help you understand your dosha, how it impacts your life, and how you can change your lifestyle to create more balance and harmony. Other treatments used in ayurveda include oil massage, breathing exercises (known as pranayama), and repeating mantras, or phrases.

Nutrition

Nutrition is the process by which living organisms obtain and use food and nutrients to maintain health, growth, and proper functioning. It involves the intake of essential substances from food, such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water, which are required by the body for energy, building and repairing tissues, and supporting various bodily functions.

Here are the key components of nutrition:

  1. Macronutrients: Carbohydrates: Provide energy to the body. Sources include grains, fruits, vegetables, and sugars. Proteins: Essential for growth, repair, and the creation of enzymes and hormones. Found in meat, fish, dairy, legumes, and nuts. Fats: Provide a concentrated source of energy, support cell function, and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Found in oils, butter, avocados, and fatty fish.
  2. Micronutrients: Vitamins: Organic compounds that are necessary for various biochemical processes, such as immune function and energy production. Examples include vitamin C, vitamin D, and the B-vitamins.
  3. Minerals: Inorganic elements that support functions like bone health, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission. Examples are calcium, iron, and potassium.
  4. Water: Vital for hydration, digestion, nutrient transportation, and temperature regulation.
  5. Fiber: Though not a nutrient the body absorbs, fibre plays an important role in digestion and maintaining healthy gut function.

Good nutrition supports overall health, boosts immunity, helps prevent chronic diseases (like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity), and ensures the body's systems function properly. A balanced diet that includes a variety of foods in appropriate proportions is key to achieving optimal nutrition.
