Abstract

The whole practice of nature cure is based on the following three principles:  Accumulation of morbid matter, the abnormal composition of blood & lymph  lowered vitality. Nature cure believes that all diseases arise due to the  accumulation of morbid matter in the body and if the scope is given for its  removal, it provides a cure or relief. It is believed that the human body possesses  inherent self-constructing and self-healing powers. The blood pressure and blood  sugar significantly reduce and the lipid profile also improves due to the influence  of yoga practices and naturopathic management. Lifestyle is an important risk  factor for increasing the prevalence of diabetes in the Indian population. In this  study, we evaluated the effects of naturopathy treatment, salt-restricted low calorie diets, and yoga in long-term glycemic control in patients with type 2  diabetes mellitus.
