Naturopathy is a science of healthy and natural living. Naturopathy believes that the human body owes its existence to Nature's five elements. The Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Sky - a composite representation of all forces of Nature. The element Earth stands for solid structure like bones .Body fluids like blood, lymph, etc represent water. Air represents the breath of life, Fire symbolises the heat generated within the body through various metabolic processes, and the hollow organs represent the vacuum. In positive health, each of these elements is in equilibrium and well balanced. Any disturbance in this equilibrium due to any cause leads to accumulation of toxins and morbidity, which manifest as diseases. Naturopathy aligns us with the self-preservative will of Nature to protect and heal the body from within, by weeding out the undesirable elements. It believes that all healing powers are within the body. This means that within every human organism there is a healing energy, which includes our immune system in the fuller sense of both the physical and the psyche, which is responsible for our wellness and our ability to heal and maintain health.

Diseases are caused due to "the violation of Nature's laws", i.e., breach of rules of diet, exercises, sleep, relaxation, drinking water etc. Naturopathy teaches the importance of healthy routine habits ,good eating habits and modifies lifestyle to be in tune with nature's principles thereby not only helping in attaining freedom from disease but also helps to maintain positive health throughout.
