Gandhiji had a passion to tend the sick and serve the poor. He valued life close to nature for its simplicity and evolved and practice simple rules of health. He had almost a religious faith in vegetarianism which led him to carry out dietetic reform based on pragmatic results obtained from personal experiments. He was tremendously influenced by the writings of Dr. Kuhne on Nature Cure. He believed that human body, mind and spirit could be maintained in a state of perfect health by observance of simple rules. He attempted to discover causes of ordinary ill health and improvised simple remedies of Nature Cure. He established a Nature Cure Centre at Uruli in pursuance of his belief that the poor could not afford costly medicines and remedies and that he owed it to them to let them have the benefit of his lifelong experiments in Health and Hygiene.
