Did you know that New York State has more mineral springs than any other state<\/b> in the Union …. that the first Natural Health Food Store<\/b> was in NY state ? The first health “clinic”<\/b> was formed in New York State. The first department of “Chaplain and Spiritual Care Services”<\/b> was in Clifton Springs, New York. The practice of Naturopathy<\/b> started in New York. Dr. Simon Baruch, MD – father of hydrotherapy<\/b>, was a NY City based physician in 1881 and started his studies<\/b> with our springs here in Saratoga Springs, NY<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\nis just a sampling of the information presented at the Gideon Putnam &<\/b> Roosevelt
\nBaths and Spa Reawakening Retreat, Spa State Park, Saratoga Springs<\/b> on
\nSaturday March 13th<\/sup>, 2010. Dr. Les Moore, a Naturopathic Physician,
\nLic. Acupuncturist, author, speaker and the Director of the Integrative Health
\nDepartment at Clifton Springs Hospital in western NY presented information on
\nHydrotherapy. <\/span>And I presented on
\nthe powers of Foods and Nutrients in Health and Vitality.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nMoore explained the use of water for healing is an art and science unto itself.
\nHydrotherapy is the application of water in the treatment of disease and the
\nmaintenance of health. <\/span>Hydropathy
\nrefers to the “water cure” which arose from the empirical tradition
\nand professed to cure all diseases by use of water . Balneology or
\nbalneotherapy refers to the science of baths and their therapeutic uses.
\nCrenology or crenotherapy is the science and use of waters from mineral springs.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nworldwide on his research and knowledge of Hydrotherapy. Just about all cultures have had large traditions of
\nhealing springs, and Europe and Asia still continue with their healing
\ntradition today. <\/span>Besides the
\nimmense positive effects on health, these waters in other cultures have
\nsupported them in their economy as Dr. Moore has reported. <\/span>America is beginning to revive her
\nincredible tradition of `taking the waters’. <\/span>Is New York on the cutting edge of reclaiming her rightful
\nplace as the leader of Spa and Resort Therapy in America ? <\/span>WE SHOULD BE.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nhis discussion, I commented “It <\/span>appears we are on a gold mine”, and Dr. Moore responded, “We
\nare”. <\/span>Wouldn’t this be a great
\nventure for New York State to pursue – especially in this time of economic
\ndread and health care challenges that are higher than it has ever been for our
\nstate history? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\ntested and concluded our healing springs in Saratoga Springs possess the healing
\nminerals he presented on- which are the ingredients for healing – with very
\nshort-term usage. <\/span>Did you know
\nthere are over 300,000 research articles on the benefits of hydrotherapy ? <\/span>Some common chronic conditions that
\nstudies have proven hydrotherapy can help heal (with short term use of several
\nweeks) are: hypertension,
\nheavy metal toxicity, depression, diabetes, heart disease, general signs and
\nsymptoms of aging, arthritis, autoimmune disease and much, much more.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nwere also discussed by myself in my presentation on Integrative and Functional
\nMedicine. <\/span>I explained that in my work
\nwith foods and nutrients, I regularly see people transition to health, discontinue
\nmedications, lose weight, and feel more vital than they have experienced in
\nyears. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nable to attend this inspiring day of learning about the history of the area we
\nlive in and the health and healing qualities of our waters, our health
\npractitioners and more, please mark your calendars for The Park-wide Anniversary & Wellness Festival slated for Sept 10<\/b>th<\/b><\/sup> , 2<\/b>010 weekend.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
\nhealing springs ? <\/span>If you have,
\nwhat specifically happened ? <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>What can we do as a Community to expand our gift of the springs to
\nutilize them more for improving the health and economy of our state ?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
