Welcome....
I created this site due to my interest in a variety of healing systems. We tend to be raised with certain beliefs on what forms of "medicine" we should use but only by opening our minds to new or sometimes ancient practices, will we find new things that can help us in our daily lives. Many of the charts here are interactive. Roll your mouse over the chart to see how various parts of the body are impacted. I encourage you to explore the sites here....there is a lot of great information that can help you in your search for.....The Total Being.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a form of massage usually applied on the hands, feet, or ears. It’s a form of treatment rooted in ancient techniques used by various cultures that found correlations between these body parts and the rest of the body. Certain “reflex zones” on the hands, feet, and ears, have been found to have an influence on other portions of the body when stimulated with physical pressure. Though often prescribed as a complement to standard medical care, reflexology massage can be very beneficial to those suffering from migraine, stress, back pain, arthritis, digestive disorders, and sleep disorders.
Reiki
Reiki is a form of treatment technique used as a complementary therapy for the treatment of physical, emotional, and mental illnesses. This practice is based around the understanding that life is supported by an unseen, life-force energy (Ki). When this energy is low, one is likely to become ill. Practitioners use this life force energy channeled through their hands to bring about relaxation and healing to the patient. Reiki healing has been widely known to have positive (sometimes miraculous) effects in treating virtually every known illness and is always beneficial to the patient being treated.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a form of treatment that improves overall health by manipulating the muscular-skeletal system and promoting proper nervous system function. It is thought that spinal dysfunction interferes with the nervous system leading to an array of potential health problems. Chiropractors find that a healthy spine is critical to overall well being and maintaining proper alignment is crucial. This is done with a process known as spinal adjustment, and practitioners may also adjust other aspects of the body back into balance.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a practice based on the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Under this medical framework, illness is thought to stem from an imbalance or blockage of Qi within the body. With a deep understanding of these energetic systems, acupuncturists stimulate acupoints with thin sterile needles, physical pressure, and/or various other devices involving heat, light electricity, and lasers to promote healing. Acupuncture is often accompanied by Chinese herbal medicine and Tui Na massage techniques depending on the patients needs. Practitioners are trained and licensed by local and national regulatory organizations to ensure proper training and safety guidelines.
Love your new blog. I really like the vegan recipes as I want to make more for Jim and I. You and I are actually into a lot of the same things and didn't know it. I am a massage therapist, into healing hands, reflexology, etc. Bobbie
