Medical Astrology
Astrology is a humanistic attempt at trying to understand the cycles that we share with the forces in the Universe. The planets have corresponding ruler ship to certain vitamins, minerals, cell salts, herbs, metals, colors and parts of the body. Through the chart, one can look to see what natal health conditions exist. Through these precepts, we can then look at the present and into the future to see what areas of our lives are being affected and potentially how we can head off ill health and promote wellness.

Naturopathy
Nature cure also known as naturopathy, is a combination of a variety of natural therapeutics and methods of healing. Passed down through the ages, this system leans upon the wisdom of the ancients as well as modern science. The curative properties of Nature's elements- the sun, air, earth and water- are employed as natural cures. The primary cause of all diseases, according to nature cure, is the conscious or unconscious violation of Nature's laws, and disease in reality is a self-purifying effort by the body to heal itself.

Nature cure professes that what affects one part affects the entire body, no matter by what name the disease is called. The body is a complete entity and reacts to a disease in toto; it must therefore be treated as a whole and not in parts.

All healing comes from within the body itself. There are self-curative forces inherent in the human body working towards health and healing; the physician through his nature cure techniques lends only an intelligent assistance.
