American Association of Naturopathic Physicians Naturopathic physicians combine the wisdom of nature with the rigors of modern science. Steeped in traditional healing methods, principles and practices, naturopathic medicine focuses on holistic, proactive prevention and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. By using protocols that minimize the risk of harm, naturopathic physicians help facilitate the body’s inherent ability to restore and maintain optimal health. Naturopathic physicians work in private practices, hospitals, clinics and community health centers. NDs treat all medical conditions and can provide both individual and family health care. A first visit with a patient may last one to two hours and follow-up visits range from 30 to 60 minutes, although this varies depending on the ND.

Yoga Ayurveda - Tea Season Do yourself a favor: Drink the right tea in winter and you'll warm up body and soul and get your prana (vital energy) flowing. By Scott Blossom Long, long ago during the Satya Yuga, or Golden Age, of Vedic legend, humans spent most of their time absorbed in deep meditation, subsisting on the prana (vital energy) of sunlight and the breath.

This story illustrates two important principles of Ayurveda: First, good digestion and elimination—both mental and physical—are crucial to health. But there's more to it than just drinking tea.
