Naturopathy is a drugless system of healing. Naturopathy believes that the human body owes its existence to nature's five elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether - a composite representation of all forces of nature. In positive health, each of these elements is in equilibrium. Any disturbances in this equilibrium due to any cause leads to diseases.

The Five great elements of nature and the treatments based on them are:

• Earth - Mud baths, Mud packs,
• Water - Hydrotherapeutic methods in the form of Baths, Jets, Packs, Compresses, Immersions
• Air - Breathing exercises, Outdoor walking, Open air baths
• Fire - Sun baths, thermal baths, Magnetised water, Colour charged oils / water
• Ether - Fasting therapy
