The Origin Of The Term Naturopathy

Naturopaths (the followers of this type of medical science) have a few theories of their own. As per their claim, it was the ancient Greek “Father of Medicine”, Hippocrates, who was actually the first advocate of naturopathic treatment medicine. They claim that this was long before the term actually existed. It was a concept that was slowly developed “naturally”. Thus recognizing it as a naturally healing process, took more time than recognizing a concept like medicinal science.

To add to that, it is believed that Naturopathy has its early roots in the 19th-century Natural Cure movement that took place in Europe. Further, Thomas Allinson started advocating his “Hygienic Medicine” in the 1880s in Scotland. In this concept, he was promoting a strictly natural diet, along with exercise. He would also propagate the avoidance of tobacco and overwork.

Next, the actual term of naturopathy was finally coined in 1895 by an individual named John Scheel. However, it was later purchased by Benedict Lust. Naturopaths consider him to be the “Father of U.S. Naturopathy”, due to his contribution to the field and its overall development. As time has gone by, there have been a lot of transitions and upgrades to this methodology. With those changes being implemented, it has now become the phenomenon that it is.

The Meadow Nature Cure

Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a recently developed form of alternative medicine that gained prominence and was coined in the early 20th century. It was been around for a long-time now, though it was recognized just recently. The best naturopathy treatment in India employs a combination of pseudoscientific practices that are branded as “natural”, “non-invasive” or promote “self-healing”. The whole concept and methodology of naturopathy is based on the learnings of vitalism and folk medicine. A naturopathy centre in India relies more on the traditional and ancient methods, rather than evidence-based medicine (EBM). The best naturopathy treatment in India brings together a blend of Indian traditional methods with a fairly set of new modern techniques from the 19th century.

Keeping that in mind, The Meadow- Nature Cure tries to implement all the norms to be called the best naturopathy centre in India. The term “naturopathy” has its origin from a couple of words. The word “natura” (Latin root for birth) and “pathos” (the Greek root for suffering) combine together to suggest “natural healing”. As the concept suggests, the aim is to provide the best naturopathy treatment in Rajkot and India.
