Acupuncture.Acupuncture originates from China and is based on the
stimulation of nerve impulses on the body, which are called acupuncture
points.It is believed that your
life energy, or “qi,”travels along
your body on what are known as “meridians”.When this flow of energy is broken and
damaged your body is weak and this is when health concerns can occur.Acupuncture stimulates these points
along your body by using needles.
Acupressure.Acupressure uses the same points on your body as acupuncture but
this time the stimulation is achieved by the pressure of the hands.
Massage.There
are many different types of massage therapy but the basic premise behind
this type of alternative medicine is the manipulation of certain parts of
the body in order to relax, stimulate, and enliven your body.
Shiatsu.Shiatsu originates in Japan and is another form of
acupressure.Certain parts of your
body are manipulated by the use of hands, fingers, and palms in the effort
to increase the flow of energy through your body.
Reflexology.This type of alternative medicine involves the stimulation and
manipulation of certain points of your feet with the belief that each part
of your foot directly corresponds with a certain part of your body.It is this manipulation of your foot
that stimulates the blood flow to that particular part of your body and at
the same time relieves the tension in your body and mind.
Homeopathy.Homeopathy is the principle of “treating like with like”.Homeopathic remedies are substances
derived from plants and minerals that are diluted in a precise way as to
cause toxic behavior and cure the symptoms.
Yoga.Yoga is
one of the oldest forms of natural health methods and is practiced by
thousands of people from all around the world.Yoga uses specific body “postures” to
reduce your stress, slow your breathing and heart rate, lower your blood
pressure, and promote relaxation that is necessary for a healthy body and
mind.
Aromatherapy.Aromatherapy uses the extracts of plants to relax and balance your
body, creating a feeling of harmony with your senses.
