For
people who advocate and recognise the latent healing
power of nature like my esteemed friend and fellow
practitioner, Shri H.K. Bakhru, naturopathy is a way of
life. It is a distinct philosophy and science which
strengthens the age-old faith in the correction of bodily
disorders and restoration and main- tenance of health
through elements freely available in nature. It brings
home the basic fact that healing is brought about by the
inherent curative powers of the body. The simplicity of
this method should not deter individuals from its use.
The final complete healing will come from within. In
short, the naturopath lends intelligent assistance and
interprets nature’s laws for the patient.
Shri H.K. Bakhru who has contributed numerous articles to
leading newspapers and magazines on various ailments and
their cure through dietetics and nature cure treatments,
has already to his credit the authorship of three books
on nature cure : ‘Health the Natural Way’,
‘Diet Cure for Common Ail- ments’ and ‘
Foods That Heal ’. All three have been well received
by the public.
A news item appear in newspapers recently about a famous
French folk singer, Rike Zarai, who had never practised
naturopathy but her faith, based on her personal
experience, turned her into an authority on herbs and
nature cure. At the Height of her career as a singer,
Rika met with an accident, when her car went off the
road, due to poor visibility on account of fog and she
was taken from the wreckage with four broken vertebrae,
one of which was pulverised. The attending doctors
indicated that she might not be able to walk again
without crutches.
To make matters worse, she had a calcium deficiency. On
the brink of suicide, she appealed for help to an eminent
homeopath. Clay compresses were smuggled into the
hospital and she applied them regularly to her back. Her
surgeon was outraged when she attributed her remarkable
recovery not to his skill but to the clay. With the zeal
of a convert, she applied herself to the wider study of
natural medicine.
She has authored two books, titled ‘ma Medicine
Naturelle’ and ‘ her secrets Naturelles ‘.
As many as 2,80,000 copies of the first book were sold.
Both the books have challenged the realms of Medical
world.
For Shri H.K. Bakhru’s new book titled ‘ A
Complete Hand-book of Nature Cure.’ is complete
guide to naturopahy. This book offers a way which, if
followed, will provide renewed energy, increased vitality
and greater satisfaction that comes from living a full
and useful life.
The author has advocated that the right food could work
wonders and has tremendous curative power. Nutrition is
the major problem of human life. This book can also be
appropriately titled ‘ Return to Nature ‘. The
aim of naturopathy is to invigorate and stimulate the
body’s homeostatic mechanism, to restore health
structure and function. One can enjoy perfect health by
proper regulation of eating, drinking, breathing,
bathing, dressing, working, thinking, and other social
activities on a normal and natural basis.
I wish the author Shri H.K. Bakhru all success for the
publication of this book.
