Alternative Medicine Briefs:

Accupuncture - A form of Chinese Medicine based on channels of energy running thru the body. Accupuncture relieves chi congestion in the body thru the use of very thin needles, which are inserted into energy meridian points. Most who experience acupuncture say that there is no pain from the insertion. Accupunture can assist in regulating energy thru the chi channels, slowing it down if it is going too fast and speeding up energy flow in areas that are slow and congested.

Homeopathy - Samuel Hahnemann, of German descent, founded homeopathic medicine in the 18th century. Homeopathy works through introducing an extremely diluted formula of ingredients that trigger an illness response in the body. In other words, like cures like. Homeopathic medicine involves the taking into account of all symptoms a person is having, not just one or two. The homeopathic physician may ask questions that seem unrelated to the problem but when all symptoms are analyzed together, they point toward certain remedies with unwavering accuracy.

Iridology - This is a fascinating study of how the iris of the eye can reveal illness in the body. Iridologists look for certain patterns, colors, changes in shape and specks in the iris, to determine where congestion and health challenges might exist in the body. Bernard Jensen is considered the father of iridology in America.

Aromatherapy - The use of essential oils, either one at a time or in special blends designed to address specific health challenges, has a long history of benefit in the CAM, or alternative medicine, field.

Pure plant oils have the ability to cross the blood/brain barrier which means they cause effect sooner than almost any other medium.

Many oils have relaxing or rejuvenating properties as well as delicious scents so they are a natural for massage oil blends and add to the experience of massage therapy. Oils commonly added to massage blends include lavendar, camomile, rose and ylang ylang. Citronella essential oil is often used in natural insect repellants. Other oils have medicinal properties and some, such as tansy, pennyroyal and some others, can be hazardous.
