Family health...
naturally and Jewishly


Natural Jewish Parenting features articles on family health and safety in general, and children's health and women's health in particular -- with an emphasis on natural health and alternative modalities to maintaining wellness. The overall philosophy leans toward a complementary approach to family health -- a blend of conventional and alternative healing strategies -- and articles represent a diverse range of viewpoints, philosophies, and experiences.

It goes without saying that nothing you read here should or could take the place of consultation and treatment with a medical professional. The ideas here are presented only to inform and educate -- and hopefully to inspire you to take charge of your family's health and be proactive in seeking alternatives when appropriate. Only you, in collaboration with the health professionals you trust, have first-hand knowledge of your children's health needs (and your own). You alone (meaning, of course, both parents together) have the authority to make the health decisions that affect your family.

Health topics covered in previous issues of Natural Jewish Parenting include perspectives on homeopathy, chiropractic, herbal medicine, Chinese medicine, macrobiotics, natural cleansers, allergies, toxins in the home, ADD/ADHD, and much more.

In addition to full-length feature articles on relevant health issues, every issue of Natural Jewish Parenting includes a "Roundup" of brief summaries of current health and safety research. These news briefs cover the whole gamut of family health topics. (Although Roundup items are not currently available online, they may be posted in the future. Please check back! Some "Focus" items from the Roundup section -- longer pieces that offer a more in-depth treatment of newsworthy health topics -- are included below.)

Of course, in Natural Jewish Parenting, you'll always read the Jewish perspective on the topic at hand. What does your family's health have to do with Judaism and Torah? Read NJP to find out!



The links below will take you to articles about natural family health from the pages of Natural Jewish Parenting magazine. Some articles are reprinted in full; others are excerpts. (If an article title is plain text and does not link to another page, then it is currently available only in print copies of NJP. Back issues are available at the NJP Shop. Click here to order back issues. NJP Shop will open in a new window.)

Over time, I will be making more articles available online. New articles will be added here after each new issue is published, and exclusive web-only content will also be added.
