Naturopathic medicine is a popular form of complementary and alternative medicine systems practiced worldwide. This study provides an overview of a typical inpatient yoga and naturopathy protocol followed in India. Naturopathic medicine is commonly used in the management of certain lifestyle-related disorders, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, endocrine disorders, and neurological disorders. Moreover, naturopathic medicine integrates different lifestyle medicine practices, such as yoga, diet, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and color therapy into its treatment plans. Moreover, India is one of the few countries that offer naturopathy treatments through inpatient hospitals. Although the clinical efficacy of naturopathic medicine practices in various pathological conditions has been confirmed, no studies have yet investigated the effectiveness of naturopathic medicines protocols in naturopathic inpatient settings. Naturopathic physicians use a set of philosophical principles when determining their therapeutic order and all therapies that upregulate physiological homeostasis.
自然疗法是一种在全球范围内广泛应用的补充和替代医学体系。本研究概述了印度一种典型的住院瑜伽与自然疗法方案。自然疗法常用于管理某些与生活方式相关的疾病，如糖尿病、高血压、肥胖症、癌症、肌肉骨骼疾病、内分泌疾病和神经疾病。此外，自然疗法将不同的生活方式医学实践，如瑜伽、饮食、针灸、水疗和色彩疗法纳入其治疗计划。而且，印度是少数几个通过住院医院提供自然疗法治疗的国家之一。尽管自然疗法在各种病理状况下的临床疗效已得到证实，但尚无研究调查自然疗法方案在自然疗法住院环境中的有效性。自然疗法医生在确定治疗顺序和所有上调生理稳态的疗法时，会运用一套哲学原则。
