Introduction

This course represents the traditional foundation of naturopathy education in India, which existed much before the introduction of BNYS under government-regulated systems.

Historical Background – The Truth About ND in India

Naturopathy education in India did not begin with BNYS.

  • Nature Cure & Naturopathy were actively practiced in India from 1940–1950 onwards
  • During that period:
    • There was no AYUSH Ministry
    • No centralized medical council for naturopathy
  • Education was conducted by:
    • Registered Trusts
    • Societies
    • Academies

Doctor of Naturopathy (ND) emerged during this period

as a professional and academic pathway for naturopathy education.

👉 BNYS came later as a government-structured degree
👉 ND represents the earlier, traditional educational stream
