| Holistic Medicine - 5 main branches Posted: 26 Dec 2011 11:00 PM PST Article by George Kakaris Definitely you have heard of Holistic Medicine. For certainty, a friend of yours has experienced an alternative treatment. Probably, you have tried to benefit from a complementary therapy too. Perhaps, you know few holistic treatments. But, I am convinced that you do not know all the branches of Holistic Medicine. According to web references there are over of 30 main types of Holistic Medicine. In this article we will introduce you to 5 main Holistic therapies. Acupuncture. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine that is been practiced for thousands of years. Needles are inserted into human body (usually wrists, ankles, feet, back and abdomen) at more than 350 points. The procedure lasts for approximately 20 minutes while the patient rests and then the needles are removed. Practitioners manipulate and twirl the needles with special techniques, stimulating the energy flows and promoting healing and pain relief. Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use primarily of essential oils and secondary of other aromatic natural substances such as vegetable (base) oils and scented products such as candles and soaps, in order to complementarily heal various diseases and vitalize body, spirit and mind. Aromatherapy is an ancient therapeutic method. There is historical evidence that in all major cultures of antiquity (Egypt, Greece, Persia, Roman), physicians deal with herbs, aromatic plants and floral water in purpose to invigorate, cure, stimulate and relax contributing to a better health and well being. Homeopathy. Homeopathy is a relatively new Holistic Medicine based on the idea, that a natural substance that can produce sick symptoms in a healthy person, can have therapeutic effect in a sick person who suffers from the same symptoms. The term Homeopathy derives from a Greek compound word which means similar-suffering and was introduced by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann. Nevertheless, the homeopathetic approach to health was first described by Hi! ppocrate s 2,500 years ago. Homeopathy treatment is safe for patients as long as the next 2 rules are followed: 1. Remedies should be given in infinitesimal doses, so that unwanted side-effects could not be dangerous. 2. Remedies should be specific to each patient, because illness is specific to the individual. Meditation. There are many different, even opposing definition of Meditation. The most usual description says that "Meditation is a state of just being without any interference from the body or mind". Free of thoughts, feelings and actions, the meditator has the ability to concentrate on the present moment of quiescence, to understand human mind's nature and to help the awareness of every single aspect of life. Free from any distraction to the mind, the meditator, emphasizes mental activity and achieves personal development. There are many types of Meditation according to their focus and many of them are related to Eastern Religions. Reflexology. Reflexology is a therapeutic method of healing and pain relieving by pressuring particular reflex areas in hands and feet. Thousands of nerves end in these areas and link to glands, parts and organs of human body. Therefore, reflexologists by pressing on the reflex areas, induced human body to self-correct, to prevent illness, and generally to reinforce itself reaching holistic health.

| Posted: 26 Dec 2011 04:01 PM PST Article by bedmondo The human population continually struggles to deal with the stress of daily life, and modern diseases that are becoming ever more resistant to treatments. Serious illnesses seem to affect nearly everybody at some point in life. A weak immune system will make people even more susceptible to these illnesses, because the body will not have the proper tools to heal itself. Our bodies harbor millions of bacteria and viruses both good and bad. Normally, the body can fight off the bad through its defensive immune system. However, once this healing energy leaves the body it becomes defenseless in warding off disease. Reiki is made up of the words Rei and Ki. Rei means universal and Ki means life force or energy. So, Reiki is the energy that is flowing through the universe. The energy is in all living creatures and plants on earth. And, according to Mikao Usui (the creator or Usui Reiki) the Reiki energy is used to help the immune system ward off disease and assist the body's ability to heal. The Usui Reiki technique is now used around the world to both heal people and also purify them as a means of disease prevention. Reiki works on the basic principle of energy balance. When your body's natural energy, (or Reiki) is balanced out, then it will have a greatly increased healing power. The natural energy balance is also able to help cure or reduce any diseases that are currently in the body. Thus, a Reiki treatment serves well to cleanse the body and the mind. After a Reiki session, all your negative thoughts and worries will be wiped clean. Both spiritually and physically, your body will be clean and energetically balanced. Reiki treatment can be given using two techniques, direct and indirect. With direct treatment, the Reiki master uses his/her hands to touch the most important parts of the body and balance the energy inside. Indirect treatment occurs when the client is not present and the Reiki master will simply image that their hands are actually there. Both procedures seem to ! be equal ly effective, although direct treatment gives a better connection between the client and the Reiki master. With Reiki treatment, it is possible to increase your energy, body, and spirit. These sessions will literally help you ward off nasty diseases and keep you feeling great. The best part of it all is that Reiki is a safe, natural, non-invasive method for curing diseases with great results. Take it from those who receive Reiki treatment all around the world, it works!

| Aromatherapy: Marketing lies or is it the truth? Posted: 26 Dec 2011 01:00 PM PST Article by Petronille Berlay You must have come across this term in one form of advertisement or another. Indeed aromatherapy is promoted as being able to solve all your problems and make you live an agreeable life. Does aromatherapy really works or is it only a marketing initiative? The primary aim of this article is to provide some information on this subject and distinguish the truth from the fake.

Traditionally aromatherapy relies on the therapeutic properties of essential oils to help people. It is also generally claimed that aromatherapy can bring healing to the emotions of people that have suffered from these problems. This is why this practice has become popular among many people.Aromatherapy treatment is most of the time based on the application and use of essential oils. This is either in the form of massage, inhalation or application on the skin. Thus the healing power of the essential oil is imparted fully to the body. This is usually done by a qualified aromatherapist that has good knowledge of this treatment. You should be however aware that there are some unscrupulous people that are claiming some fake products as being aromatherapy treatment. You should not get confused with these products as this is only a form of marketing. At best, these products may contain some essential oil but very rarely at the therapeutic dosage. This is why many people are also having a false view of aromatherapy and thinking that this treatment does not have any positive effect.

It is also advised to avoid food that has preservatives, permitted colors and those, which has been over cooked, burnt, and seasoned with lot of spices and salt. Negative qualities such as anger, jealousy, greed, unbridled lust and passion, coveting the wealth and property of others and dishonesty should always be controlled as a positive step towards a better health. Another very effective method is the use of herbs that are found equally important in comparison to a proper diet and a positive state of mind. The reason so many herbs are beneficial in the treatment of sleep disorders is that herbs are synergetic. They work on one problem, for instance a digestive disorder or nervous tension - and by relieving that problem they improve the ent! ire func tioning of the body and lead to other improvements, such as better sleep.

| Understanding Reiki Healings - Part 2 of 3 Posted: 26 Dec 2011 11:02 AM PST Article by Taylore Vance Reiki healing treatments give many benefits. A total healing can occur and at times...there are amazing miracle recoveries. But traditionally, Reiki removes the old negative energy-layer by layer. Reiki Benefits Those In Hospitals 1. It can be used as a complementary therapy 2. It enhances the healthcare the patient receives in the hospital or from other healthcare providers 3. Many nurses are becoming Reiki practitioners 4. Treatment reduces some of the side effects of drugs and helps the body's recovery after surgery and chemotherapy. 5. Some hospitals invite Reiki healing into client care because it will provide the added energy needed to recover from illness. The Reiki energy is a natural energy from the Universe. It's unlimited and it seems to know what to do without any effort on the part of the practitioner except for them to start the flow by drawing the Reiki symbols in the air or just thinking... Reiki heal. The client always feels refreshed after a treatment. When the healing treatment is combined with the sincere desire of the healee to do whatever it takes to get better, the results are very beneficial. Some times there is a healing crisis (a release of toxins causing some discomfort) because of the cleansing within their physical, emotional and spiritual body. When this happens, toxins are released within the body, and the client should drink plenty of spring water and take it easy for a few days. Further Reiki applications assist the body in cleaning itself and dissipating the released toxins. Reiki healing is beneficial to the health of men, woman (even pregnant women), children, babies, pets, farm animals, plants, garden flowers and you can even bless your water and your automobile with this energy. There is great respect among those in the Reiki (healing arts) community. Reiki people know and feel there is a common bond between them. They know that they are helping the world become a better and more peaceful place. It's wonderful tha! t almost all practitioners feel the harmony and joy that flowing The healing Light brings to each one of us. It is a natural high without drugs. When you are Reiki you are taught not to take on the problems of others and not to use your own energy for healing. Reiki healing energy is an energy tool you take with you everywhere you go. It's built into your body and hands for use at any moment, any time, anywhere for on-the-spot treatment for your automobile's stuck starter, a dead battery, your friend's stress release, pain relief from injury, and/or even to give yourself a quick burst of energy while driving on long trips. Reiki Helps People With Negative Or Blocked Energy Most people suffer a little bit from blocked energy flow. When your "Life Force Energy" is disrupted, weakened, or blocked the physical body can no longer do its maintenance work to keep the body going. Because the body is weakened... mental, emotional and physical problems tend to occur. When the flow of good energy is blocked the person has a low vibrational frequency. They are often found in destructive relationships and lifestyles. They appear to be on a self-sabotage or self-destruct path by continually making the wrong choices. They neglect themselves in many ways. Plus they don't (or can't) love themselves or others. That causes a real strain on relationships. They push away and hurt the people who love them. This emotional turmoil can be helped by Reiki treatments. Reiki raises the vibrational frequency of the client and the healer. It promotes, health, joy, and well-being for all.

| Aromatherapy Products To Lift Your Mood Posted: 26 Dec 2011 10:01 AM PST Article by Anne Harvester It is well-known by actors that the sense of smell can be used to help actors tie into memories of places and events in their pasts. It might be that the smell of buttered popcorn takes you mentally to a visit to a favorite movie theatre, or freshly cut lawn smell reminds you of happy summertime memories at a favorite vacation spot. Aromatherapy products may be useful to you in a similar fashion. Having the air around you infiltrated with pleasing aromas may help to improve your mood, and there are several ways to achieve this effect. There are several aromatherapy products that you can try, including an aromatherapy diffuser as well as several aromatherapy oils and massage oils. The two basic items that you can use to get started with aromatherapy are an aromatherapy diffuser and aromatherapy oils. An aromatherapy diffuser can be a vessel as small as one that you would wear around your neck to one large enough to add scent to an entire room. Into the diffuser you place a few drops of aromatherapy oils. These oils are typically herb essential oils, and thus are very potent so that only a few drops are needed to add their fragrance to the air around you. One aspect of the aromatherapy diffuser that will help to make the experience more successful is the application of heat to the oil inside the diffuser. When the aromatherapy oils are heated, they are more able to release their fragrances into the air. If the vessel used is small such as one worn as a necklace, your body heat is sufficient to heat the oil. Other diffusers come with a candle that can be lit under the vessel, or other vessels are designed to sit atop an electric light bulb on a lamp, so that when you turn the lamp on, the heat from the light bulb gently warms the oil. Larger diffusers may also come with small fans built into them, so that the scent of the oils are dispersed more easily throughout an entire room. Other aromatherapy products include massage oils. Because essential oils need to be blended into a carrier oil! for the best results when used on the skin, massage oils came into existence. They may use almond oil as the carrier oil, and can be scented with any variety of essential oil that you enjoy. You could choose from lavender, lemon, allspice berry, anise oils or any that you prefer. All of these aromatherapy products are available from fine herbal product merchants online for your convenience. About the AuthorAnne Harvester writes about-- aromatherapy products.

| Crystal For Healing: How to boost confidence and get rid of stress Posted: 26 Dec 2011 09:00 AM PST Article by Annabelle Wadsworth Crystals are pretty rocks right? They come in all different colours- pinks, blues, greens; and they make for great paperweights, but what can that dusty hunk of rock you once bought on a whim from a store that smelt a little too strongly of incense do for you? Well for one, you can use a crystal for healing. Crystals, like Aladdin's lamp are more than what they seem. Their hidden aspects have been carved in stone by ancient Egyptians and written in parchment by the Babylonians. Even today the windows of Tiffany's and Cartier are a testament to our obsession with crystals and gemstones. Perhaps the reason we prize them has more to do with how they make us feel than we think. Any true scientist will tell you that all crystals have an energy or charge that is not so different from the human body. So imagine what you can do with all this free energy! Studies show that when placed in water it changes the molecular structure or the liquid, it emits vibrations and new technology can even take photos of a crystals energy field. So instead of using crystals to transduce and transmit energy in computers, TV's, and watches as they are used today- you can use them to heal, attune, calm and create. When the energy body, aura or chakras of you or I, is disturbed or out of balance it has a direct effect on our physical body- muscle aches, acne, arthritis- you name it! A crystals individual properties can be used to work in harmony with the human body to transmute or even amplify certain aspects in your energy body using 3 simple steps: 1. Choosing your crystalCrystals are not all the same and when picking one for a specific purpose it helps to be informed. Like diamonds, cut, colour, clarity and size all make a difference. But keep in mind, a raw and cloudy crystal has as much power as a polished one, just in different ways. Do a little reading and find what you are looking for. If you feel a little overwhelmed, don't forget the power of intuiti! on!! 2. Cleansing and charging your crystalThere are a number of ways to cleanse your crystal so that it is cleared of any previous vibrations or negative charges and it's up to you to decide which one you feel is best. My favourite method is to place the crystal in a bowl of water and leave it outside during a waxing moon night. Another popular way is to place it in a cluster of amethyst or clear quartz crystals for 12 hours. Remember that your crystal is constantly absorbing outside energy so it requires frequent cleansing for optimal use. 3. Getting to know your crystalYour crystal can do a lot for you but you need to find out its strength and why this stone that was formed in the earth miles from your doorstep has come into your life. Sure, you went out and bought it- but it has a certain vibration and energy that is one of a kind, just like you. Get to know its energy flow and your healing will work much better. For: Confidence: carry or meditate with Green jasper. This stone stimulates the blood circulation and the heart chakra giving strength and courage. Rejuvenation: Red garnet is a powerful energizing stone. Place a garnet in a glass of water for a minute and then drink to give you a kick start to your day! Relaxation: A great method to achieve general healing is by placing 8 amethyst crystals around you when sleeping. These crystals calm emotions and aid meditation and sleep. Try different layout patterns to fins what works best for you. So dust off your crystalline paperweight and have a little fun with your crystals- put them in your water, carry them in your pocket; and perhaps the Crystal Age of Atlantis wont feel like such a myth after all.

| Aromatherapy Organic essential oils Posted: 26 Dec 2011 08:00 AM PST Article by Alfred Patrick Aromatherapy oils are essential oils generally steam distilled or water distilled from many natural ingredients that generates aroma to regularize health and mind of a human. These natural ingredients may involve leaves, stems, roots, or any elements of the plants that are therapeutic. When infused with natural oils such as olive oil, the aromatic plants were used to heal, for cosmetics, religious rites, as well as embalming. Perfumed oils are actually used in modern day religious practices. One reference by Shen Nung goes back to 2700BC, listing three hundred plants and their uses. Organic essential oils are wonderful when used in massage and bath preparations. Because the aromatherapy oils are the pure essence of the plant and so concentrated, they must be used with a carrier oil when the product is to be applied to the skin. A popular one used in massage therapy as well as for bathing is sweet almond oil, although grapeseed oil and many others are also used. There are several herbs and plants that give off an aroma that is used in perfumery such as basil and bergamot. Basil helps an individual improve concentration by making them more sharp as well as relieving migraines, depression and headaches - an amazing set of benefits. Aromatherapy oils reinstate the belief that nature has the best storehouse of tools for a healthy living. Aromatherapy oils can heal the body by strengthening it and giving the body the nutrients to replenish the immune system that help combat disease, relieve stress and regenerate the system. Essential oils used in aromatherapy are different in chemical mix from other herbal products. Aromatherapy uses pure, natural, unmodified aromatic essences, (essential oils) and hydrosols (colloidal suspensions) that come from botanical material. These substances can have a broad range of therapeutic effects and actions on the body. Inhaling aromatherapy oils is where the vapor given off by the oil is inhaled into the lungs. This is thought to inc! ite the brain and cause it to trigger a reaction to the oil. It is also thought that there is a physical well being by breathing the vapors directly into the lungs. Remember that safety is of the utmost importance and always follow the manufacturer's instructions as otherwise a reaction, possibly very severe can take place. The bath tub is a common place where women go to get a way from it all for a short period of time. Add several drops of aromatherapy oil and soak for at least 20 minutes. Rosemary and Lavender are great aromatherapy oils to help you relax. There are varieties of aromatherapy essential oil available in the market. Each type of oil has its own distinct feature of healing and curing one or the other problem. So, while buying aromatherapy oil, the person is suggested to ensure that he buys a right kind of aromatherapy essential oil. After the initial excitement over synthetic chemicals calmed down and science advanced, we have discovered that what they first thought to be identical reproductions of natural substances are, in fact, much inferior and not structurally or functionally the same. Not only do they lack the therapeutic action of the natural substance, they could have potentially harmful side effect like headaches, skin irritations, and allergic reactions.

| Posted: 26 Dec 2011 07:00 AM PST Article by Jonathon Hardcastle Reiki is the practice of using one's hands to direct and channel the energies, or Ki, of the body, thereby healing the patient. Most schools of Reiki teach that energy has an intelligence of its own and that once it is channeled will automatically work on the part of the body that needs it most. Reiki was founded in the early 1900s by a Buddhist, Mikao Usui, who, after a long period of fasting and meditation, claimed to hear voices revealing "the keys to healing." Usui then trained several disciples and the practice spread throughout Japan. Heightened interest among Americans in alternative health practices led to the spread of Reiki in the United States in the latter part of the twentieth century. A typical Reiki session involves the patient lying down on a table or bed and the Reiki practitioner moving his or her hands over or on the body. The patient may feel sensations such as cold, heat or tingling, or they may feel nothing. Reiki practitioners attribute any sensations to the movement of energy through the body. Some practitioners charge for their services and others don't. Reiki is controversial because there is no governing body that standardizes training and practice and licenses practitioners. There are several different "schools" of Reiki, each teaching slightly different methods and practices. There are Wiccan, Celtic and Tibetan flavors of Reiki, and even one that was developed in the American Southwest. In the most traditional school of Reiki, students must complete three courses before they can become Masters and initiate and train other students. This has led to the rise of internet-based distance courses in Reiki, some of which claim they can train a student in just three days. Most conventional health practitioners question the efficacy of Reiki. They point out that research does not indicate that it is beneficial and fear that patients with serious diseases will seek Reiki treatment over other, more proven, treatments. However, some have seen some benefit! in incl uding Reiki treatments along with more conventional medicine. Reiki has often been compared to the faith healing or laying on of hands practiced in some Christian churches. Some Reiki practitioners prefer the term "spiritual healing" because the patient does not have to believe in any doctrine for the treatment to work. In fact, they claim that the patient does not have to believe the treatment itself will work in order for it to be effective.

| Aromatherapy Needs A New Name! Science Continues To Affirm Medicinal Properties of Essential Oils Posted: 26 Dec 2011 05:00 AM PST Article by Eric Allen Aromatherapy as Therapeutic Medicine Aromatherapy, or more fittingly named "aroma-medicine", seeks to treat or prevent diseases using potent, aromatic essential oils. Since ancient times, aromatherapy has been used for prevention as well as cure. Hippocrates himself thought that aromatic baths and massage were a way to remain healthy. Today, aromatherapy and its holistic approach is one of the fastest growing therapies in the world. Application of Aromatherapy The application of aromatherapy is most widely known through inhalation, yet topical applications as well as ingestion are also part of this practice. When inhaled, the various aromatic molecules pass through the olfactory centers, infiltrating the bloodstream via the lungs causing physiologic changes. Molecules of essential oils also stimulate nerve centers that in turn affect the limbic system, which controls our emotions and memories. It is known that aromatic compounds can influence mood, perceived health, and states of alertness. Confirmation in Modern Science In western culture, validation of medical therapies comes through empirical research. Rising popularity of aromatherapy with main-stream society has prompted researchers to take a closer look at this ancient therapy. Although still largely unproven by a wide breadth of research, preliminary studies, both in vitro and clinical, show positive effects using this medicinal therapy. Depression: At the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (2009), researchers published a review of the effectiveness of aromatherapy to decrease depression and symptoms of depression arising from various types of chronic medical conditions. Continued use of aromatherapy for depression was supported with further controlled studies recommended. Immune Booster: At the Institute of Neurobiology and Molecular Medicine, Italy (2008), researchers looked at the influence of eucalyptus essential oil on the monocytic/macrophagic system - one o! f the pr imary defenses of the immune system against pathogen attacks. Results indicated that eucalyptus is able to stimulate a cell-mediated immune response, prompting the possibility of developing a new group of immuno-regulatory agents. Anxiety: Laboratory results (using animals) indicate statistically significant differences when aromatherapy was applied. Clinical trials are few. Yet, one joint review by the University of Newcastle and Northumbria, United Kingdom (2006), looked at the pharmacology of essential oils and found evidence that essential oils exert measurable psychological effects in humans. Researchers concluded that aromatherapy provides a potentially effective treatment for a range of psychiatric disorders, especially since the side effects are minimal (if non-existent) compared to conventional psychotropic drugs. Travel Excitement in Pets: Response to therapeutic treatments administered to animals is often much quicker than in humans. At the Queen's University of Belfast Canine Behavior Center (2006), researchers looked at the effects of aromatherapy (diffused lavender essential oil) to manage travel excitement in dogs. Researchers found that dogs spent significantly more time at rest than moving around and recommended the use of aromatherapy as a practical alternative to expensive and sometimes adverse responses of traditional treatments. Conclusions Recent science studies indicate that aromatherapy is effective for conditions such as anxiety, depression and boosting cellular immune functions. In many of the studies reviewed, scientists are suggesting further research (rather than dismissing) for possible uses of essential oils as an alternative or complement to conventional medical practices. What has been used for centuries might soon find its place amongst hospitals and medical offices world-wide. The evolution of plant phytochemicals over millennia has served in the preservation of their species. It is likely that such chemicals will be soon sou! ght afte r on a larger scale for human survival as well.
