The Beginnings
Naturopathy has been used in India since time immemorial. Fasting, drinking water early in the morning and taking bath in holy rivers etc., are every-day practices from olden days till now. Scriptures indicate that fasting, sunlight, water, exercise, manipulative therapies etc., were in practice since 3000 years. In 1894 Shri D.
