Naturopathy Day is observed in India on 18 November every year, to promote positive mental and physical health through a drugless system of medicine, called as Naturopathy. The day was declared by the Ministry of Ayush (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy), Government of India, on November 18, 2018.
It was on this day in 1945, when Mahatma Gandhi became lifetime Chairman of the All-India Nature Cure Foundation Trust and signed the deed with the object of making the benefits of Nature Cure available to all classes of people.
Gandhiji is considered the founding figure of Naturopathy in India, as it was largely through his efforts that this practice which originated in Europe became popular in India.
This year MGPCS and Aditya Wellness are jointly organizing the Naturopathy Day celebrations in Hisar. The theme for this year’s Naturopathy Day celebration is “Naturopathy for Holistic Health” where one can use various treatments and therapies under naturopathy for preventing disease and its complications and maintaining health and wellbeing.
