Welcome

This section contains articles on health, from therapeutic baths to detoxification and food choices. The Health Journal’s goal is to provide drugless suggestions for living a healthier lifetyle.

The four avenues to optimum health within the polarity therapy framework are:  nutrition to promote internal cleansing and vitality; exercise for structural, mental and emotional balance; bodywork to soften tissue and improve energy flow, and self-awareness techniques, such as yoga and meditation to sustain health. Polarity Therapy incorporates components of the Ayurvedic system, a natural healing system of India going back to ancient times. It presents as a perfect compliment for bodywork-based therapies to complete a picture of health based on natural methods for the highest mind-body-spirit function. A variety of topics are introduced to begin covering these components of healthy living.

While it is never too late to change your lifestyle for a healthier one, the earlier you are aware of the value in healthier food choices, the use of natural remedies and activities as preventive self-care and the importance of expanding your perspective,  the earlier you will notice increased vitality and better function. Whatever reason finds you at this site,  you are welcomed!
