National Naturopathy Day is observed in India every year on 18 November to promote the significance of naturopathy in holistic healthcare and its role in fostering physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The day commemorates the establishment of the All India Nature Cure Foundation Trust by Mahatma Gandhi in 1945, underscoring his belief in the power of natural healing and simple living. Naturopathy, rooted in traditional practices, focuses on the body's innate ability to heal itself through non-invasive methods, such as balanced nutrition, exercise, detoxification, and stress management. It aligns with the principles of preventive healthcare, advocating lifestyle modifications over medicinal interventions.
The observance of this day is spearheaded by the Ministry of AYUSH, which organizes awareness campaigns, workshops, and seminars to educate the public about the benefits of naturopathy. Schools, healthcare institutions, and wellness centers participate in various activities to highlight the relevance of naturopathy in managing chronic illnesses, enhancing immunity, and improving quality of life. The day serves as a reminder of the importance of reconnecting with nature and embracing sustainable, natural approaches to health and well-being.
