Naturopathy is significant because it is a holistic system that deals with health and wellness in relation to the natural capacity of the body for self-healing.

So MD stands for Doctor of Medicine. In naturopathy an MD comes after you finish a medical program in this field. It's more about learning natural ways to treat patients like herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle guidance, and physical therapies.
MS is Master of Science. An MS in naturopathy goes deeper into topics like herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, physical medicine, and even research. But here's catch both MD and MS in naturopathy aren't really common in India.

No Naturopathy and Ayurveda aren't 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 OG Indian system. It's all about balancing three doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. When those go off balance, that's when health problems kick in.

No AIIMS Delhi does not offer direct, dedicated degree courses in Naturopathy (like BNYS).
While AIIMS has a Center for Integrative Medicine and Research (CIMR) that focuses on research and holistic healthcare including Yoga and Ayurveda they do not provide Naturopathy courses.

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.
