the natural healing powers
All of us have a Life Force, which, in the right conditions will help in self healing & self correction. Certain factors around us stimulate this Life Force which in turn boosts health. Naturopathy galvanizes this latent healing power of the body by aligning it with nature's positive healing forces.
According to ancient Indian philosophy, the cosmos and everything in it is composed of the Panchamahabhootas (Five fundamental elements) - Akash (Space), Vayu (Air), Agni (Fire), Jal (Water), and Prithvi (Earth). Combinations of these elements create three biological forces or Tridoshas Vata (Space and Air), Pitta (Fire and Water) and Kapha (Water and Earth). Vata, Pitta & Kapha are present in every cell, tissue and organ in the human body and in a healthy body these three forces are balanced.
The daily grind of life disturbs the balance, which brings in diseases. The factors that disturb this balance can be emotional, physical or a combination of the two. To eliminate these diseases it is inevitable to bring back the equilibrium of elements by following certain laws of nature and incorporating discipline in life so that the healing can start from within. At Shanku's Natural Health Ccentre, stressful conditions are healed by cleansing and strengthening the body. The principal goal here is to stimulate the body so that it can heal itself with the help of therapies, nutrition, fasting, herbs or Yoga.
