Naturopathy is centered on the body’s own healing ability, and thus promotes self-cleansing, repair and healing. Focusing on the immune, hormonal, nervous and detoxification/elimination systems of the body can achieve this process. Once these systems are in balance, the body can once again achieve homeostasis.
Naturopathy practioners, then, focus on and work closely with the patient’s own unique set of symptoms, reactions and status – the treatment protocols are highly personalised. The patient’s own biochemistry, biomechanics and emotional predispositions are harnessed to combat illness.
A career in naturopathy offers ample opportunities to the practitioner for earning money as well as reputation. In India there are few colleges on naturopathy offering courses at various levels – diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate.
Licensed Naturopathic Physicians, however, have to complete a four-year program at the graduate level. Areas of study may include nutrition therapy, acupuncture, homeopathic medicine, natural childbirth, and herbal/botanical medicine etc.
There are 10 degree colleges in India that offer the BNYS program, which is of four and half year’s duration with a one year internship.
