How Does Alternative Healing Work?

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

While alternative healing seems much like a new concept, it has been alive in the Far East for centuries. In the West, it was largely in use before the advent of modern medicine. Home remedies and other herbal solutions were quite common in Europe, and many Native American therapies were taught to the pioneers who explored the regions. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a group of natural therapies that have existed since ancient times and the reason why they are still in use today is because they produce excellent results.

One popular form of alternative healing is distance energy healing, such as Qigong. This is a process of restoring the body’s natural energies to their original balance. When our body’s energy is out of balance, disease, illness, stress, and depression are sure to follow. This can all be reversed however when distance energy healing is invoked. The West has been slowly accepting of this kind of healing and it has even been studied by the California Pacific Medical Center in Northern California. China has already studied this and other Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities with much success.

Believe it or not, but even prayer is a form of alternative healing. One study was done by a cardiologist Robert Byrd that showed those who prayed and were prayed for received better results than those who did not. The scientific reasons behind all of this are still yet to be recovered, but it is believed to be more than just the placebo effect. Many believe that the truth behind these natural healing methods may be found in Quantum Physics. This science states that everything in the universe is made up of energy, much like Chinese modalities such as Qigong.

Who can benefit from these alternative healing modalities? The answer is pretty much anyone. Most people will only seek help however when there is already a problem. For those who are thinking of trying out these techniques, you may experience any of the following results such as an increase in energy, stamina, and vitality. You may also experience clearer thinking and better memory skills. Many people also experience an improved sense of wellbeing which is incredibly important in today’s stressful world. Many physical symptoms of illness are removed or decreased when traditional healing is used. This could be less pain, fewer headaches, less fatigue, faster recovery time from injury and surgery, etc.

Someone that seeks holistic healing may also find themselves getting along better with others. This is because when you feel better you treat people better yourself. You will be much less likely to engage in pointless arguments and other negative behavior. Therefore it is often that those who seek healing will have better relationships with their family, friends, and loved ones. As you can see, there are many benefits to seeking out this help. Everyone will have different results, and some may not reap any benefits at all, but you never know what will happen until you give it a try.

How Natural Healing Can Improve Your Immune System

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Now that winter is quickly approaching and the cold weather is already here, it is a good time to begin thinking about ways that you can boost your immune system. Not only does having a healthy immune system protect you from diseases, sickness, and germs, but it can also decrease the effects of these conditions should you be inflicted with them. Natural healing is a safe approach to increasing your immune system and keeping germs and sickness away this coming winter. Missed days of work and other conveniences that illness results in can cost you money over the long run.

You may be wondering just what types of natural healing you can use in order to increase your immune system. One of the better trusted solutions is herbal supplements such as Echinacea, Goldenseal, and Astragalus. Vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C and Zinc are also safe, natural substances that will help with your immune system as well. Always be sure to follow the recommended dosages and guidelines that have been laid out on the labels for each product. For example, Echinacea is recommended to be taken 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, or in a similar fashion.

There are also many different natural healing modalities that have been passed on to us from our ancient ancestors. These include energy healing techniques such as Qigong, chakra balancing, Reiki, acupuncture, yoga, meditation, etc. Qigong can be a very effective method of restoring the body’s immune system to the powerful state that it was originally intended to be in. It is based on the theory that our bodies are composed entirely of energy, and these energies that flow throughout us can easily become out of balance, or blocked. Through gentle movement, breathing, visualization, and sound, Qigong can get these energies back into the harmony with nature.

Acupuncture is another highly effective form of natural healing that can get your immune system running at maximum efficiency once again. It is a crucial part of traditional Chinese medicine that uses needles, heat, and pressure to different areas of the body. Much like Qigong, it is built around the idea that vital energy flows throughout our bodies in a complex network of paths known as meridians. This energy features the forces of yin and yang, as is everything else in the universe. When yin and yang work together, health and balance are the result. However, when they are not in balance, blockages in our body’s natural energy can occur. The result is pain, illness, and even a poor immune system can be the result.

These holistic solutions to health have been a staple of medicine in the Far East for centuries. The West is gradually becoming more accepting of these treatments and some therapies such as acupuncture are already being put into use in American clinics. When the many different forms of natural immune system boosting are being used, you will have significantly less illness and risk of the flu.

The Healing Arts: How Alternative Medicine Can Help You

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Alternative medicine goes by many different names, holistic medicine, natural medicine, healing arts, etc. It is used generally by people who do not trust the medical establishment, or people that have simply not benefited from it. Other times, these people may come from families that have practiced these holistic therapies for centuries. Although these therapies have been met with distrust and cynicism in the West, they are becoming widely accepted and even many health clinics in the United States now use them in one way or another.

These healing arts are too many to list here, but the following are some of the more well known and accepted practices: Qigong, Shamanism, acupuncture, reflexology, Feng Shui, massage, chiropractic, yoga, meditation, etc. Each of these practices is different and can help or heal in different ways. The underlying theory behind each of these treatments though, is that the body has the ability to heal and recover naturally. This belief goes back thousands of years to man’s infancy, and still remains a powerful force today. The Bible, Quran, and other religious texts mention this healing often. The term faith healing is used to describe it occasionally, but terms such as natural and holistic are becoming more mainstream.

These theories and modalities also have the common belief that the body is made of pure energy. The energies that run throughout our bodies, known as meridians, can become blocked or out of balance; in fact, this is an inevitable reality. Through these natural healing arts, the body can be put back on track and the energies within can become balanced once again.

Another commonly held belief is that the body contains chakras, powerful energies that guide over specific parts of our bodies. When chakras are in balance, the body works at its maximum efficiency. When these chakras become blocked they do not work at their full efficiency and serious physical and mental disturbances can result. These blockages can be removed though when practices such as chakra balancing, cleansing, and healing are invoked.

Most people that give these healing arts a try do experience some form of positive result, but as with all modalities this recovery is not guaranteed to work for everyone. This is self healing so it is up to the body when all is said and done. The only way to know if these holistic therapies are going to work for you personally is to give them a try. You may want to do some research on each healing art so you can find the one that is best suited for you and your needs. Acupuncture is a very effective treatment, but some people do not like the idea of using needles. In cases like this, therapies such as Qigong may be preferred as not only are needles not necessary, but it does not have to be performed in person either.

The realm of natural healing also extends to natural medicines as well. These herbal remedies have been around for millennia and were the original medicines before modern chemistry was invented. While they should not be a complete substitute for your regular prescriptions, they do make the perfect supplement and can give your body that natural healing that modern medicine does not.

Holistic Healers and Alternative Medicine

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Broadly speaking, alternative medicine is any form of healing that doesn’t fall within the bounds of conventional medicine. Why would someone be interested in seeking the services of a holistic healer? First of all, there are many different diseases and disorders that modern medicine cannot help. There have been drugs developed that can waylay the symptoms, and hopefully prolong the life and comfort of the individual, but that is the extent of their effectiveness. Cancer, AIDS, chronic pain, osteoporosis, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and the like are all conditions that our current medical science often doesn’t help.

Currently, there are many different kinds of alternative medicine that a holistic healer may incorporate into their treatments. In the West, natural medicine has fallen out of practice, while it once was fairly common. In recent years it has shown resurgence however. The East is where alternative therapies have existed for centuries, and have been used among the general populace with great success. Some alternative therapies revolve around natural herbal remedies, while other remedies involve the use of techniques such as meditation.

Western countries are becoming increasingly accepting of alternative medicine. In a survey that was taken in 2005, it was shown that more than a quarter of US hospitals offered alternative healing therapies such as acupuncture, biofeedback, and massage. As a whole, alternative therapies can be divided into the following: biologically based practices, manipulative and body-based therapies, mind-body interventions, and energy therapies. A holistic healer may use one or a combination of any of these techniques in order to help other people overcome their illnesses and symptoms.

A combination of these holistic techniques is known as an alternative healing system. For an example, a healer that uses traditional Chinese therapies may make use of acupuncture, herbal remedies, and Qigong, a traditional Chinese form of energy therapy. Mind-body therapies such as meditation and yoga make the perfect complement to these therapies.

When it comes to the scientific studies that corroborate these alternative healing techniques, some alternative therapies have been supported while others have not. Many times these studies may show that a therapy, such as acupuncture, is effective, but researchers are not certain as to why. Because of the lack of acceptance in many circles for alternative therapies, they are not usually reimbursed by insurance companies. Because these services must be paid out of pocket, many people do not have access to them.

These treatments do not work for everyone, and not everyone will have the same results. Some treatments will be very effective for certain ailments and others will not. So the predictability of how these therapies will affect you cannot be certain until you try them. Most herbal remedies that are sold over the counter are safe, but be sure to contact your doctor to see if there are any potential problems before trying them. Finding a good technique and practitioner can be difficult, so make sure that the person you choose has a fair amount of positive references.
