Bruce Berkowsky, N.M.D., M.H., NCTMB

Dr. Bruce Berkowsky, N.M.D., M.H., H.M.C., has devoted himself to the art and science of natural healing for over 50 years. A board-certified and registered naturopath, herbalist, and homeopathic clinician, he is also nationally certified in massage and therapeutic bodywork and serves as President of Joseph Ben Hil-Meyer Research, Inc. Formerly the naturopathic advisor to the Institute of Applied Biochemistry, Dr. Berkowsky is a member of the American Naturopathic Medical Association, The Registry of Naturopaths (UK), and the British Naturopathic Association. Throughout his distinguished career, he has synthesized traditional naturopathy, classical homeopathy, herbal medicine, nutrition, Chinese medicine, chi gong, cell salts therapy, bodywork, and modern science into a unified system of health creation that reflects the harmony between human life and the rhythms of nature.

Over nearly five decades of private practice, research, and teaching, Dr. Berkowsky has developed two comprehensive systems of healing: the Natural Health Science System (NHSS) and Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE). The NHSS embodies a complete approach to natural living and self-directed healing, incorporating principles such as wholesome diet, targeted nutritional supplementation, essential oils, homeopathy, cell salts, Vital Chi Skin Brushing, hydrotherapy, stretching, chi gong, acupoint therapy, and color light therapy. It also integrates modern supportive technologies including molecular hydrogen inhalation, PEMF, scalar light, infrared sauna, and photobiomodulation, emphasizing that each individual can cultivate the knowledge and skill to preserve good health and act as a capable healer within their own home.

Developed in the 1990s, Spiritual PhytoEssencing (SPE) represents the psychospiritual counterpart to the NHSS, using customized essential oil and gemstone essence blends to help individuals reconnect with their true inner nature and address one of the deepest roots of disharmony: estrangement from the soul. For over 30 years, Dr. Berkowsky has refined and taught this art, emphasizing that physical vitality and spiritual harmony are interdependent and that the body, as the vessel of the soul, must be strong and balanced for true healing to occur. Although now retired from clinical practice, he continues to consult, teach, and write extensively. His publications include Vital Chi Skin Brushing System, Essential Oils and The Cancer Miasm, Berkowsky’s Synthesis Materia Medica of Essential Oils, and The Twelve Cell Salts. His forthcoming books, Oxy Vital Style Chi Gong and Deep Breathing System and Gemstone Essences Reference Guide, are scheduled for release in 2026.
