The Three Great Master Physicians; Featured Free Articles, Video Classes & More

Hello Everyone,

I hope you have been moving forward along your pathway to wellness.

The doctors of ancient times understood the inseparability of the human being from the natural universe and that disease was a consequence of, and perpetuated by, alienation of individuals from their natural milieu. Hence, those physicians used fundamental elements such as fresh air, pure water, sunlight, natural diet and exercise not only to ameliorate symptoms in the short-term, but to effect the reintegration needed to sustain health in the long-term.

Hippocrates maintained that disease must be treated in the same principle that the great 17th-century English physician Thomas Syndenham later described in accordance with natural laws. In his Observations of Medicine he reports that his practice was based upon: “…the support of enfeebled nature.”

When Syndenham (renowned as the “English Hippocrates”) lay dying, he told his weeping pupils that he was content to die as he was leaving behind him three physicians greater than he ever was. One of the pupils asked, “Three great masters. Who are they?” Syndenham replied: “Water, air and exercise.”

In the 1930s, famed Swedish health teacher Are Waerland began his Sun Viking movement. Many of his students experienced greatly improved health and even recovery from serious illnesses. Waerland taught that disease was a disturbance of a person’s life-rhythm, established through millions of years of biological evolution. He told his students to look outside the body to environmental conditions as primary factors that create health or disease. Waerland felt that health could only be produced, and disease eliminated, by restoring the original human life-rhythm, which depends upon an unhindered relationship between the human body and the external factors of Nature.

The above compelling logic supports the practice of artfully employing the fundamental elements of life as the primary tools for restoring and maintaining health. Treatment methods such as homeopathy, acupuncture, aromatherapy and herbal medicine are highly valuable, but they are of secondary importance here, because their full effectiveness is dependent upon the extent to which the fundamental elements of life are provided or denied.

The Natural Health Science System™ provides the knowledge to work with these Master Physicians.

My Natural Health Science System (NHSS) consists of a synthesis of all the components of my practice and my lifestyle over the course of 45 years.

Although retired now from naturopathic practice, the following components still serve as the paving stones for the pathway of my daily existence: the basic principles of healthful, all-natural diet, strategic nutritional supplementation, herbal medicine, cell salts, homeopathy, Vital-Chi Skin-Brushing, hydrotherapies, healthful sunbathing, stretching exercises, chi kung (qigong) exercise, deep breathing exercises, acupoint therapy and other forms of self-directed therapeutic bodywork.

Over last 40+ years I have been developing the art of Spiritual PhytoEssencing™. You have complete resources available on my website including materia medicas, repertories, worksheets, blend formulations, and classes to learn and practice this art.

Spiritual PhytoEssencing is a synthesis of certain aspects of: aromatherapy, doctrine of signatures, classical homeopathy, modern physiology, Kabbalah, philosophy, anthroposophical science, Chinese medicine, herbal medicine and folklore, depth psychology, gemstone healing and color therapy.

The basic premise of Spiritual PhytoEssencing is: In order to be able to ameliorate soul-level disharmony, the essential oil blender must engage with the archetypes embedded within the fabric of the soul rather than with the archetypal images which manifest as emotional and physical symptoms.

Please feel free to write to me if you have any questions. I hope you enjoy reading the articles in this newsletter and find the information beneficial in your journey to wholeness of being while improving your practice and skills.

Shalom,

Dr. Bruce Berkowsky

Yin and Yang, rooted in Taoist philosophy, represent the fundamental life forces that shape all natural phenomena, including the body’s functions; this duality helps guide holistic healing in systems like Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE).

Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE) uses Yin-Yang principles to match a person’s physical and emotional imbalances with the inner nature of essential oils, drawing from various healing traditions like Chinese medicine, Kabbalah, and modern aromatherapy.

Kunzea ambigua (white cloud) is a hardy, fragrant Australian shrub with symbolic associations of adaptability and emotional ambiguity; it’s traditionally known for repelling ticks and supporting resilience.

White cloud essential oil is valued for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions, and it also offers deep emotional support, helping release blocked grief, anxiety, and stress while restoring inner strength and clarity.

I have produced 3 recorded classes on White Cloud Essential Oil. You can view the first class free and read it’s description on Youtube to learn more.
