Your health and wellbeing should continually be of optimum importance.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to research the many alternative therapy
options which may be available to you. More natural remedies can not only help
your body but your mind, too.
Here are 5 alternative therapies you can try.
1. Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into
the body. These needles are inserted at designated acupuncture points, which
are the places on the body where most stimulation will be gleaned for the
nerves and muscles. It’s also known to help your body release positive
chemicals that can assist with pain and stress relief.
This method of therapy is done with the understanding
of your body’s energy; acupuncture aims to restore the balance to your body’s
flow.
It can be used to target specific pain, but also serves
as a wellness alternative, such as for those suffering with anxiety.
2. IV Therapy
This treatment is a great solution for many specific
ailments alongside a general improvement of overall wellbeing. Having IV
hydration therapy means that your body can receive a tailored
package that targets your needs. This could be anything from tackling fatigue
and increasing your body’s vitamin intake, to finding a fast solution to
recovering from the flu.
IV therapy is the perfect alternative for anybody
looking to flush toxins from their body and receive a solution of the right
vitamins and minerals.
3. Reflexology
This alternative concentrates on how your body is
linked through the central nervous system. Reflexology targets certain points
on your body, such as your feet, hands, and face, in which the healthcare
professional will apply a certain amount of pressure to these points in order
to stimulate nerves and to relieve tension in the body.
It can be a great way to improve mood, help you to
relax and also help you to sleep better.
4. Massage
Massages come in many different forms, with many
different levels of pressure. Finding the right massage for
you means understanding the needs of your body. For instance, deep tissue
massage is best suited for chronic pain or particular stiffness. Lighter
massages or aromatherapy massages would have more focus on wellbeing and
relaxation.
You can also receive a massage tailored for a specific
area of the body, such as head and shoulder massage if you are feeling tension
in a particular place.
5. Reiki
This therapy technique is devised around the aura of
the body. Its purpose is to restore a low force of energy found in the body to
its natural and full state. This is done through the Japanese technique of
laying the hands-on certain energy points of the body. Reiki is therefore
devised to make the body’s energy flow more freely, reduce stress and embrace
healing properties.
Reiki can be very relaxing and uses minimal pressurized
touching compared to deep massage, for example. Reiki is more about the energy
and aura rather than working the muscles of the body.
