As a result of the evolution of health problems, the current health care system must change its focus towards holistic health-oriented model, which is based on the enhancement and maintenance of health and not just on the cure of diseases. Holistic health typically considers the whole person – body, mind and spirit; its approach towards healing goes beyond just eliminating the symptoms.

‘Naturopathy’ or ‘Naturopathic medicine’ is a form of alternative medicine employing a wide array of ‘natural’ treatments. It favours a holistic approach with non-invasive treatment and generally avoids the use of surgery and drugs.

A positive attitude and a peaceful mind are conducive to healing and happiness, irrespective of the nature of diseases or indisposition. ‘Yoga’ is believed to offer a means for the actualization of human potential to its maximum through its three dimensional approach to health i.e., physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga is very much relevant even today and the world is fortunate that such practices have survived over the centuries.

Yoga & Naturopathy is one of the best lifestyles ever devised to treat diseases of modern civilization such as Obesity, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Artery Diseases that are rooted in faulty lifestyles. The need of the current time is to have an integrated approach towards holistic therapy and that is how Naturopathy, conjoined with Yoga, stands unique amidst the Ayush Stream of Medical Sciences. This system of medicine is based on the scientific knowledge of the body, and uses treatments that have been proven effective through scientific research. Doctors are trained to have a thorough knowledge of the body’s systems, diseases and their treatment.

India has a population of more than 1.29 billion people but there are a limited number of health care professionals, especially doctors per head of the population. For the above said reasons and to bridge the gap between the demand and supply of public health professionals in India, the Management of Excel Group Institutions has taken a timely decision to meet the challenge and to strengthen the delivery system of the healthcare services by imparting training in the Ayush stream of Medical Sciences from the academic year 2018-19.

We look forward to receive students from all over the globe to become world class doctors to combine the best concepts in Ayush across all directions through the medical programme Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences at our Excel Group Institutions.

Welcome you all to Excel Medical College for Naturopathy and Yoga!
“Discover the mind’s influence on your health and explore body’s natural ability to heal!”
