The Ministry of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy) celebrated the first Naturopathy Day on 18 November, 2018 throughout India.
It aims to promote the drug-less system of medicine to prevent diseases by altering the diet and lifestyle.
The Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy, an autonomous body under the AYUSH Ministry, organised health camps, workshops and exhibitions from 14th to 18th Nov.
In Delhi, a community mud bath was organised at Balaji Nirogdham where 700 people took bath simultaneously.
This was a World record and has now been registered in the Asia Book of Records.
Mud bath is one of the five natural elements of naturopathy treatment.
