As far as I know Naturopathy is often characterized as pseudoscience. I honestly cannot say how effective it is on chronic and acute ailments but I believe Naturopathy is effective to a certain extend if the treatment is strictly followed as the treatment involves a lot of discipline in food control.

hi chetan.. i think Indian naturopathy can be atributed as an ancient medical science. In fact, Nature Cure is a way of life of which we find a number of references in the Vedas and other ancient texts. The morbid matter theory, concept of vital force and other concepts upon which Nature Cure is based are indeed scientific.
It is appropriate for me as a Registered Naturopath to answer the points raised.Time immemorial naturopathy was with indian and chinese style of medicines,All thr tribals globally are Naturopaths or perhaps their senior member is guiding To add on I must say that Naturopathy holds the key as allopathy treats hitting the target? and many a times creates havoc in hitting targets beyond resulting in new diseses or symptoms,Say diclophenac users result in peptic ulcers and gastritis This drug is used overwhelmingly resulting in other disorders I am correcting spinal displacements disc prolapse by naturopathy, Well I have along list of cures curing the incurables with naturopathy.
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of medicine that stresses promotion of health, prevention of disease, patient education, and self-responsibility. It is identified not by the therapies it uses but by the philosophical principles that guide the practitioner. The seven core principles of naturopathic medicine are: the healing power of nature vis medicatrix naturae first do no harm primum non nocere find the cause tolle causam treat the whole person holism preventive medicine wellness and health promotion emerging principle and doctor as teacher docere . Natural medicine has a long and venerable history, from the early days of the nature cure , to the science-based naturopathic medicine of today. The tenets of healthy living natural foods, sunlight, exercise, joie de vivre haven t changed over the centuries, and some valuable and still-utilized.
