Enhance Your Immune System with Hydrotherapy

Want to support your immune system and prevent those unpleasant winter colds? As the weather gets colder, New Jersey Natural Medicine is happy to offer hydrotherapy to our clients. 

Raising your body temperature helps activate enzymes that the immune system uses to fight off infections. This healing practice utilizes the application of hot and cold towels, in conjunction with a gentle current applied to the upper body to help the client feel better by enhancing blood/lymph circulation, oxygenation and increasing overall blood cell count. It is truly a relaxing and rejuvenating experience that can treat both chronic and acute conditions. Additional benefits include detoxification, immune support and digestive enhancement. Hydrotherapy treats acute and chronic conditions including respiratory and digestive disorders, inflammation, frequent illness or infection, fatigue and much more.

Location: New Jersey Natural Medicine, 2424 Lamington Rd., Bedminster. For information, please call 973-267-2650, email [email protected] or visit NJNaturalMedicine.com.

In-Print News Briefs October 2020
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
