The talk of Nature Cure is incomplete without covering the aspect of natural hygiene. In Nature Cure, we talk about the two essential processes to keep a body healthy which are assimilation and elimination. Assimilation covers ways to ensure that we digest the food properly. There is a dedicated topic on fivefold food medicine, wherein we have covered this topic in detail in the body wisdom section. The other part of this process is elimination.
Hygiene and Overal Health
When there is an obstruction in the elimination of the toxic material out of the body, it creates a problem in the body. In Nature Cure disease is not considered to be a real entity. It is a lack of health that needs to be addressed, and when we address it, the disease is taken care of on its own. When we talk about the disease, it may be because the elimination may not be happening. The body's inability to throw the toxic materials and filth out of the body is known to be the cause of all diseases. When we consume the food which is not to be consumed like aerated drinks, packaged food, or processed food, only cooked food whose vitality has already been compromised, then it creates filth in the body, which is not eliminated properly.
External Hygiene
We should also know that other than the excretory organs of the rectum and urinary organ, our skin is the third most important organ by which the perspiration happens. Other than the perspiration, it also becomes the medium of eliminating the harmful material out of the body by way of skin.
However, with the use of cosmetic products, powders, your dreams, and other chemicals, we obstruct the elimination from the skin. The other obstruction occurs when we use synthetic fabric instead of natural fabrics such as cotton or khadi. Synthetic fabric may be easier to maintain and clean, but it doesn't do good to the skin. That is why these are best avoided for their health damages must be weighed upon before deciding its short term comfort. Doing away with cosmetics or chemical products and replacing them more with natural products is an effective way of ensuring external purity.

To ensure internal purity, it is important to maintain good health. To achieve this, hydrotherapy is very useful. There are various forms of hydrotherapy, like hip bath, spinal bath, etc. However, to eliminate the toxin from the colon, Tona, which is the refined form of an enema, is recommended. The difference between Tona and enema is that in Tona, instead of one liter of water, only 200 or 250 ml of water is used. It is inserted rectum by way of a pipe in to cool down the colon. The purpose of Tona is to tone up the colon, but its additional benefit is that it also helps in in elimination of the filth out of the body.
Other than this internal purity, we also need to focus on ways that help us maintain mental hygiene.
Mental and spiritual hygiene
The mental and spiritual hygiene is maintained by ensuring that we invest some time in contemplation of positive thought processing. According to Nature Cure, if we can use our skillset to make others' lives better, then the thought of helping others contain our limiting and negative thoughts, and it contributes to mental hygiene. It helps us to maintain our mental health, agility, and improve our overall hygiene ultimately.
It also requires us to do away with the limiting beliefs or fear, like in the current time, we operate more from the space of fear. Now researchers have affirmed how people with fear are vulnerable to attract diseases higher than others. When we do things that help us to address the limiting beliefs, then we will be able to improve our mental and spiritual hygiene.
Environmental Hygiene
Other than the hygiene at the three levels, physical mental and spiritual, there is another level where we need to work. It pertains to environmental hygiene. We take good care of our homes. We ensure that the rooms are properly ventilated; now we also need to do something about the environmental hygiene collectively and individually.
For example, encouraging our family members to reduce the consumption of plastic. Limited or no use of AC, discouraging vehicle use for short distances, walking our way to home or office rather than taking scooter, car, or e-rickshaw for or one or two kilometers all of it will contribute to creating a healthier and hygienic environment.
We encourage people to carry cotton carry bags or containers instead of allowing the shops to give the ration in plastic bags. We can also be mindful while using electronic products. Sometimes we purchase out of compulsion. We may explore collaborating, working collectively to plant more trees, and taking care of the trees. These activities will be part of environmental hygiene, which is equally essential to ensure better community health.
