The Indian Naturopath was a nature-cure journal advancing drugless healing on the subcontinent: fasting and dietetic treatment, hygiene and physical culture, vegetarianism, and vigorous campaigning against vaccination and vivisection, all conducted under the banner of obedience to the laws of health. What distinguishes it from its Western counterparts is its politics. Its pages argue for swaraj and for a government that respects individual liberty and the development of the human personality; a conference resolution asks the provincial administration to maintain village gardens for public health and to promote hand-ground rice. Nature-cure here is a nationalist programme as much as a therapeutic one, the village and its diet set against an imported medical apparatus. A light borrowing from mind-cure vocabulary connects the journal to the wider drugless-healing literature, but its substance is medical-reformist and political rather than metaphysical, and it belongs with the health-reform and diet-reform strand of the archive.
