Is fasting specified for all? |
|
| Fasting is advised for selected patients depending upon the requirement. In Naturopathy, fasting is a major tool by which, food intake is reduced or controlled in order to eliminate the toxins in the body. But now a days the same effect of fasting can be produced by several dietary modifications, these dietary modifications will improve the elimination of toxins from the body. During fasting, we would like to avoid strenuous treatments and exercises like running or jogging, swimming etc. As such, strenuous treatments will have adverse effect, and hence light treatments are given. However, fasting is not prescribed in some cases like Diabetes, Hypertension, Hyperacidity, ulcer etc. and in certain other medical conditions. |

How can Naturopathy cure diseases without medicines? |
|
Nature cure, as it denotes by name is a system of treating the sick without medicines and drugs. Nature cure believes that the body heals itself. It is observed that more than 80% diseases are self-limited. Nature cure prescribes no drugs to suppress the symptoms or disease, but uses natural methods of healing, like food therapy, hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, exercise therapy, yoga therapy, mud therapy, etc. Nature cure is the best way of life. This system is as old as creation.
From time immemorial, all living beings have been adopting this natural method to protect their health. In the order of healing sciences naturopathy stands first, but unfortunately, it is practiced last after hopelessly trying all other medical sciences. The body has the capacity to fight any type of disease on its own. Unfortunately, we do not give a chance to the body to fight disease and the moment the disease erupts, we start medicating with the result, instead of assisting the body to fight disease, medicines start going in a negative direction with many side effects. In this Institute we teach patients to treat diseases without medicines. Since it is a huge subject, you are advised to study literature on Naturopathy which is available in abundance. |

Why do you give early dinners that cause us to feel hungry before going to bed? |
|
The routine of your home and of the Kayakalp center is some times varies, hence you may feel little initial inconvenience, you will be surely adjusted to the new routine with in no time, as it will happen with other people. For special conditions which is beyond your control, that can be discussed with the centers Doctors.
The aim of giving early dinner is to maintain a gap of 2 hours between digestion of food and sleep. In fact, before going to bed food should be digested at least partially. If not, the circulation will be shared by the digestive system as well as the brain and hence if one retires to bed soon after eating, neither digestion nor sleep will be proper. |
