No, Naturopathy and Ayurveda aren't the same, even if both vibe with natural healing. They've got totally different mindsets and methods.
Naturopathy is more like “let your body do its thing.” It focuses on self-healing, lifestyle changes, and stopping sickness before it starts.
Ayurveda is the OG Indian system. It's all about balancing the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. When those go off balance, that's when health problems kick in.

You know, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi really puts its emphasis on traditional medical training. So, if you're looking for a program specifically in Naturopathy, unfortunately, you won't find that there.
Now, AIIMS is pretty well-known for its allopathic programs — that's conventional medicine, in case you're wondering. But they do offer a bunch of different courses too; like Nursing, MBBS, MD, MS, and several other healthcare-related fields. It's definitely a place with a lot of options!

Yeah, Naturopathy is surely legal in India and is totally counted as a part of medicine. There are plenty of colleges and institutes where you can study Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences.
The Central Council for Research in Yoga and Naturopathy (CCRYN), under the Ministry of AYUSH, takes care of research and education in this field.

Sometimes people call naturopathy grads “doctors,” but it really depends on the rules where they live.
Naturopathy is all about natural remedies and helping your body heal itself. People who finish naturopathy programs are often called naturopathic doctors or naturopathic physicians, but technically they're not always “doctors.” The rules for using that title can change depending on the place and the laws there.

Lately, naturopathy is getting really popular. It's a type of medicine that focuses on natural healing and overall health. If you're into stuff like that, it can actually be a really cool career choice.
Naturopathy is awesome for people who love alternative medicine because there's lots you can do with it, you learn a lot, and it can lead to a good job while also feeling really satisfying. But before you jump in, it's super important to really understand what it's all about. That way, you can see if it actually fits your interests, skills, and what you want to do in the future.
