Human body is one of the greatest examples of nature’s ingenuity. The body has an innate capacity to fight any type of disease on its own strength. Unfortunately, we do not give it a chance to fight diseases and the moment a disease erupts, we start medicating ourselves. The result is that instead of assisting the body to fight disease, more often than not, medicines weaken our immunity system and produce harmful side effects. In this Institute, we teach patients how to prevent and treat diseases without medicines. Since it is a vast subject, we suggest you read literature on the subject of naturopathy available aplenty.

No, but we advise you to bring a pair of walking shoes, socks and track-suits for walking and taking part in other activities in BODHI.

Yes, free Wi-Fi facility is available
Your day will start with a morning walk at 5 am, and you will remain engaged up to 9:30 pm. You may consult your ward doctor for a customized schedule.
In naturopathy it is necessary that the patient must stay in the campus and follow a strict routine of diet as well as various courses like Kriya, Yogasana, etc. Just taking few treatments, like what is offered in a Health Club or a Spa, will not result in any benefit to patients. Hence, we have not provided outpatient facility, as it will not serve any purpose.

Reservation

Since there is a long waitlist, we would advise you to book at least 1-2 months in advance, and wait for a confirmation to come from our Reservation Department. Please take your Reservation as confirmed only when you receive a confirmation letter/email from BODHI Reservation.
You may call our help desk, or send an email to know the status
Yes, it would enable us prepare ourselves before you reach our institute. You may also mention your special needs if any, and we will try to fulfill the same if possible.

Yes, you may send a request for extension of stay through email/website. Depending on availability, our Reservation team will get back to you. However, change in number of days can be done only 3 times and the intimation should be given at least 3 days before your confirmed date of admission.

We acknowledge the receipt on our portal. You can also check by calling our Help Desk.
If you do not report for admission without prior intimation for any reason, we are not able to release your accommodation for patients on the wait-list, and it remains unutilized and we lose financially too. However, for certain cases, deposit may be refunded fully or partially depending on the merits of the case.
Request for postponement or advancement are allowed for maximum of two times. Afterwards, we refuse to admit such cases because too many changes make allocation of admissions very unpredictable and is not fair for other waiting patients.
At times, patients staying with us extend the duration of their stay in order to complete their specific treatments and we need to allow them for medical reasons. Under such circumstances, even if we offer a higher accommodation for a day or two, we do not charge extra. And if we request you to temporarily stay in a slightly lower accommodation, we charge at the rate of a lower accommodation. We hope you will understand and will be kind enough to bear with us considering your fellow patient’s need.

Treatment

Our Institute believes that the human body has sufficient capacity to fight diseases from within. In Nature Cure treatment, medicine from any source, be it Allopathy, Homeopathy or any other stream, is not required. However, those patients who are regularly taking medicines, and have brought them along, must disclose those to our doctors. Depending upon your health condition, your treating doctor will advise you on how to taper it down gradually. In case such medicines are found as not essential, those shall be kept at the Security gate so that our doctors can make use of them in case of emergency need. As drugs have numerous side effects, it will interfere with the benefits of your naturopathic treatment, and hence patients are expected to hand over any medicine to our doctors.
Fasting is a constructive treatment which helps excrete harmful toxins that cause diseases in the body. It is starvation which is destructive – which kills the body with malnutrition, not a fast. Rather millions die due to various diseases caused by over eating. Scientific fasting does not weaken the body, rather strengthen it. In most cases, from the 3rd day onwards, the body starts using stored fat for its energy. Each gram of fat releases 9 calories of energy, and thus, our total energy needs can easily be met by our excess stock of fat in the body. In fact, the fasting results in making a person feel light and hence, more energetic.
If there are no chronic conditions or severe symptoms of diseases, 10 days is the required period of stay to detoxify the system. However, it is not possible to cure chronic diseases within 10 days. Depending upon the condition of the patient, severity of symptoms, vitality, etc. it may take a longer period, say, between 15 – 40 days. Nature cure is not a miracle. A chronic disease takes its own time to show all its classical symptoms. The body has to be given sufficient time to recuperate from the damage caused.

Naturopathy requires firm discipline and faith which normally is not expected from children. However, in such cases where children suffering from diseases can be treated by Naturopathy, we do relax the age limit up to 16 years; provided they are accompanied by their parents and their cases have been cleared by our doctors.

Not at all. Naturopathy, in fact, is one of the cheapest treatments for chronic diseases which can be carried out at home by any person with basic knowledge of human body. We try to educate patients so that after going back, they can take most of the treatments at home and learn to take preventive care so that they do not fall ill. Even in our Institute, nearly 20% of the people are treated at economy and class which is affordable for all cross-sections of the society. Besides, we charge only for accommodation while diet and most of the treatments are free. Naturopathy means “a nature’s way of living” and, if you do so, you can avoid diseases without any cost.

Diet

Strictness in diet is a key tenet of Naturopathy. Naturopathy believes in a highly disciplined way of living and discipline cannot be achieved without being strict and firm. In fact, it is the strict adherence of discipline which we consider a great asset to this Institute. All of our policies are made only in the interest of the patients and their well being. Without control over diet, your treatment would be futile. As drugs have numerous side effects, it will interfere with the benefits of your naturopathic treatment, and hence patients are expected to hand over any medicine to our doctors.

This is substance abuse, and such addictive items have terrible price. They run in the body and greatly damage health. Also they interfere with the progress of naturopathy treatments, and hence are prohibited in the campus.

Yes, our Dietitians conduct live demos of the preparation of food, juices, salads and other varieties twice a week, to help patients learn how to prepare their meals in the same way at home.
Yes. The Institute has 100 acres of land where we cultivate seasonal fruits and vegetables organically. The vegetables include carrot, cabbage, knoll khol, cucumber, all varieties of gourds, leafy vegetables salad leaves and herbs. Fruits like lemon, mosambi, papaya, banana, tender coconut, avocado, grapefruits, sapota, mango, guava etc. are produced aplenty.

As per Naturopathy, the human body follows three important process for its sustenance i.e. elimination, rejuvenation and construction. The beginning of the day is a time for elimination, to cleanse, purify and detoxify the system.

During elimination, the body directs most of its energy to the work of cleansing toxins.  Consumption of food during elimination phase will only disturb the inner activity of the body and the balance of the five great elements of which the body is made. Breakfast therefore, interferes with our system & prevents digestion and other eliminatory organs to expel the wastes.
