AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy involves the use of fragrances from pure essential oils of plants.
Essential oils are the hormones and concentrated active ingredients of plants
and they can effect our moods, minds, bodies and healing. Japanese studies have
shown that different fragrances produce different brain wave patterns—some are calming, some are stimulating, relaxing, etc.

ASTROLOGY
Astrology is an ancient art which analyzes the energetic qualities of a
particular day or period of time. Birth charts provide insight into a person’s character and soul path. Astrologers use the position of the planets at
significant times to advise clients on the best way to move through periods of
challenge, growth, and opportunity.

AYURVEDIC MEDICINE
Ayurveda means the “Science of Life” and is a comprehensive medical system. It originated in ancient India and is
one of the oldest medical systems in the world, dating back thousands of years.
It has common themes with Chinese/Oriental medicine systems, including working
with the life force/energy (prana in Ayurveda, Chi/Qi in Chinese). It includes
working with different body and personality temperments called doshas, which
are similar to more modern metabolic typing and blood type systems.

BIOLOGICAL MEDICINE
Biological medicine looks at and treats the individual person, not a specific
disease or diagnosis. It is a very comprehensive, wholistic approach which
involves a wide variety of diagnostic and treatment techniques, including
dentistry. These address the inner biochemical environment of the individual,
as well as structural, energetic and emotional aspects. Dysfunction or disease
is multicausal. Assessment and treatment focus on understanding and changing
the toxic load, blockages, deficiencies, and physiological and mental stresses
that the body is trying to cope with.
