Asklepion Centre Toronto Inc. in co-operation with ISPEB
The ancient Asklepion was a famous health centre in Greece that began in the 4th century BCE. The healers employed treatments that incorporated air currents, healing waters, sunshine, herbal baths and mud baths, massage, drama, dance and music. They used guided imagery, interpretation of dreams, hypnosis and suggestion to heal, recover and restore the health of those who presented themselves with stresses and trauma of the day. Many renowned Greek physicians came to hone their skills and practice their arts in the promotion of wellness including Calos, Antipas, Galenos, Nikomadez, Flavius and Heteider. Many of the methods developed at the ancient Asklepion are used today in modern psychotherapy. [picture of Asklepion]
