  • Magnet therapy is based upon the principle that disease is the result of an imbalance or in coordination between the various electromagnetic forces present inside the body.
  • Magnet therapy strives to eliminate such in coordination and restore the natural balance of forces.
  • Thus magnet therapy looks upon a human being as a whole unit. Its aim is not mere symptom relief or palliation.
  • Magnet therapy is external mode of treatment which does not introduce any chemicals inside the body thus does not interfere with the various chemicals and enzymes present inside the body.
  • It is absolutely safe and harmless mode of treatment.
  • Magnet therapy is not a slow or a long term treatment, sometimes the results obtained are immediate and dramatic.
  • Magnet therapy is quiet simple and can be used in both genders and every age group.

The magnetic treatment for following pains/diseases is as follows:

(a)   KNEE PAIN

  • Apply North Pole and South Pole of the two strong magnets to the either side of affected knee for 15 min once a day.
  • Wearing a magnetic belt for 30 min once a day is beneficial.
  • Stick every night the north pole of one very small magnet on the muscular prominence between the thumb and the first finger (of any hand) and north pole of another very small magnet on the web between the second and the middle toes (of any foot) remove this magnet the next day.

(b)   INSOMNIA

  • Apply South Pole of curved magnet on the forehead for 15 min at the bed time.
  • Stick every night a very small magnet on the medial end of the wrist crease and remove it in the next morning.
  • Consume magnetized water in dose of 100-125ml at least 4 times a day.

(c)    CONSTIPATION

  • Apply the north pole of a moderately strong magnet for 15 min once a day.
  • Consume magnetized water in doses of 100-125ml at least 4 times a day.

(d)   BACKACHE

  • Place side by side north and south poles of two moderately strong magnet on the painful side of the back for 15 min once a day.
  • Alternatively a magnetic back belt can be worn for 30 min twice a day. This belt not only delivers the magnetic energy to the back but also immobilize the affected vertebrae.
  • Stick every night the north pole of a very small magnet on the center of the crease at the back of the knee joint, remove it the next morning.

  • Philosophy of naturopathy is “THE BODY POSSESS ITS OWN POWER TO PURIFY AND HEAL ITSELF”.
  • It also believes that “THE BODY AND MIND ARE INSEPERABLE i,e if one is disturbed it will surely affect the other”

  • It believes that for healthy livingenergy of five elements must be in equilibrium. They are:
  • Today many diseases and disorders are gifted by modern life style and stress to mankind. So the aim of the treatment is to correct the lifestyles, diet patterns, sleep patterns and to relive the stress.
  • Naturopathy believes that fundamental cure of disease is “INCREASING THE VITAL FORCE, RAISING THE VITALITY, PURIFYING THE BLOOD AND LYMPH STREAM, BREAKING UP THE WASTE MATTER AND REMOVING THE MORBID MATERIAL AND POISON THROUGH ELIMINATION”.
  • The cause of all disease is morbid matter and the cure of all disease is its elimination.
  • The modern naturopathic physician is a person familiar with the latest scientific findings not only in his own field but also in the general field of science and technology.
  • From this we come to fact that the progressive system of natural and rational method as therapeutic fasting ,the proper combination of natural foods and other dietetics and health measures , alternative therapies, allied science in short, the holistic way.
  • There is evidence of growing tendency in the day to day life of individual to deviate from normal or natural ways of life and to lean more on drugs for maintenance of health.

Nature cure has a very important place in any programme for the improvement of health by nation.

  • Many of the herbs and flowers can be grown in their own houses so they can be easily available to them.
  • In their daily routine they are mostly using the things which have a therapeutic value.
  • For most of their ailments they are using various herbs for the treatment which can be easily available from their kitchens.
    • Like GINGER TEA AND TULSI– FOR COMMON COLD
    • PUDINA LEAVES- FOR GASTRIC DISTURBANCES
    • HOT FOMENTATION– TO RELIVE PAIN
    • COLD COMPRESSES- TO RELIVE FEVER.
  • Poultice made up of wheat are more commonly used for pustules and abscesses. Its application helps in elimination of pus and hence SAVE THE PATIENT FROM THE EXPENSE OF ANTIBIOTICS as wheat can be easily and cheaply available to them.
  • In injury and wound, the paste made up of haldi and water is applied externally which gives the antiseptic effect and prevents the infection. So they do not have to PURCHASE THE LOTIONS OR CREAMS.
  • Tulsi leaves taken in early morning can boost up the memory so they do not need any treatment to improve the memory.
  • Paste made up of haldi, chandan and milk helps to solve the beauty problems, hence THE EXPENSES OF COSTLY COSMETICS ARE ALSO SAVED.
