Nature cure, natural living, natural healing. Maybe you have heard of these terms before. But how are they connected? What are nature’s law and how is a cure effected in nature? Why is nature cure not popular and why is it not part of mainstream? This article addresses such questions and gives an overall philosophy of nature cure.
Nature Cure is the oldest of the Natural Health Philosophies.
Natural Living – Living in harmony with the structure and cycles of the human body, the environment, the seasons, as well as absorbing the normal biological materials and cosmic, solar, terrestrial radiations, which are necessary for human health.
The components of Natural Living are:
If we accept the claim that it is natural to be healthy and that there are certain principles to be followed in order to maintain the highest degree of health, it is logical for us to study the human body and its environment and then determine what we should do to be healthy.
Living foods
Next in our list of health needs is exercise.
Rest is the opposite to exercise and just as important.
Sunlight, although feared by many, is the power from nature’s generators.
That rare commodity, fresh air, is also a most desirable factor in our search for health.
Water, once a wholesome beverage, is now becoming an unwholesome poisoned soup.
As well as the concrete factors just discussed we have the abstract factor of the human mind.
If we attend to these factors we will be living fairly naturally.
Natural Healing – Allowing the body to heal itself without the use of drugs, medicines or any other ‘healing modality’.
Note: The same principles of Nature Cure (living food, clean air and water, sunshine, etc) apply while in health and disease as well. But in diseases, we apply the principles gently according to the situations. For example, we cannot make a bedridden patient exercise all of a sudden. We can however make him take a walk.
A: Many people do not adopt Nature Cure because they do not wish to discard their old living habits. Many people would rather die or remain ill than give up drinking alcohol, smoking tobacco or eating the flesh of animals.
The choice is theirs. They elect to indulge their old tastes and habits rather than discipline themselves and discard their wrong habits of a lifetime.
Most physicians do not know anything about Nature Cure and are too busy to investigate it thoroughly. There is also the natural resistance to change – It’s in most of us.
Another reason why Nature Cure is not popular is that there is little money in it. There is nothing to sell or exploit commercially.
If people lived normal, natural lives there would be no need for drugs nor for physicians to prescribe them. Hospitals would be drastically reduced in size and number. Only a few surgeons would be needed to attend to people who were accidentally injured.
