In early civilizations, people lived in a harmonious relationship with the nature, surroundings and the understanding of disease was accomplished by observing nature and how it interplayed with human life. Naturopathy is a system of medicine which recognizes the existence of the vital curative force within the body. In simpler terms, the body has an innate ability to heal.

These elements are used as external treatment modalities – Hydrotherapy, Mud therapy, Massage therapy, Acupuncture along with Diet therapy and Yoga therapy to revitalize and rejuvenate the body and the mind.
