Medical science has traditionally separated the physical body from the internal spirit, and society as a whole has focused primarily on the external aspects of life.

The Vernal Equinox and New Beginnings
After experiencing the frigid temperatures and snow here on the east coast, I’m looking forward to the arrival of Spring. As the days grow longer, the Vernal Equinox on March 20th marks the first day of Spring. We also refer to this time as the Spring Equinox. In days of olde, the Spring Equinox marked a place in time when seeds would literally be planted and then food would be harvested at the Autumn Equinox on or about September 23rd.
Figuratively speaking, we see the arrival of Spring as a fertile time for new beginnings.

The Modern Naturopath
Naturopathy is a 19th century word meaning “nature cure”.
Historically, a Naturopath was one who healed using treatments incorporating water, air, light, good nutritious food, as well as massage, to cleanse, detoxify and stimulate the bodyís inborn healing powers.
