since thousands of years before and these traditions were transmitted from generation to
generation. The archaeological evidences as scriptures from Egypt, China and India also
support this idea. During the evolution of life many natural things like, plant powder,
spices, honey, sun, salt water, mud etc. were being used for the treatment of disease.

reported for the natural treatment of living being. Even the diet also emphasizes a natural
