The interest in alternative forms of healing and disease prevention is rising rapidly, to say the least. The reasons are clear; rising costs of health insurance and health care for one. The other reason seems to be the growing awareness of the limitations of regular allopathic medicine. People are beginning to see that there is more to the equation of improving and maintaining good health than taking drugs to suppress symptoms often brought on by poor habits of living- such as unhealthy diets, minimal exercise and too much stress. We’re seeing the need for healthier living as well as forms of alternative healing that don’t involve drugs that further tax and toxify the body. As a personal caregiver (as well as massage therapist) I see clients all the time that seem to think nothing of the fact that they have a half dozen or more prescription drugs that they’re taking. Most only suppressing symptoms (many being side effects of the drugs themselves!) and doing nothing to help them actually get healthier.
So where do we begin? Well , we can start by taking the steps we all hear about: Improve our diet and get more regular exercise. Those are the basics. Then- I would suggest start looking into and trying the different forms of alternative health and healing. Regular massage would be number 1 on the list here.If you can get a massage once a week or every other week this could do wonders to help you stay relaxed and healthy. I hope you’ll look at my last post for a list of the healing benefits of massage. Also you can find free instructional videos on our website at http://massageclips.com/
