Think Outside the Box Of Traditional Medicine
When you looked in your medicine cabinet this morning did you ask yourself “Is there another way of managing my health conditions without taking so many prescription medications?” By asking this question, you have become consciously aware of wanting to change your health and wellness for the better.
Yes, there are other ways to support and help with the most common health conditions including chronic pain. As more people are suffering from different health condition ranging from poor mental health to chronic pain. We have to be brave enough to think outside of the box of our traditional western medicines like prescription drugs and quick fix surgical solutions. It took time for the damage to be done to our bodies and it will take time to get it back to a new healthier normal.
Rest assured there is a way to balance your health without prescription drug side effects. Holistic medicine is a great way of healing one's whole body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Massage therapy, cupping therapy, and aroma therapy are some of the oldest and optimal choices of alternative medicines that can help with the body reaching its ultimate health and wellness goals. These medicines have been used for over a millennia and are some of the most powerful support tools available to help your body heal itself.
Massage therapy encompasses compression and manipulation of the muscles to lengthen, reduce tension, and loosen the connective tissue. Massage therapy is beneficial for conditions such as stress, anxiety, depression, reducing chronic pain, reducing high blood pressure, increasing the range of motion caused by injuries, helping to break up scar tissue, sports injuries, lymphedema, and aiding in overall general wellness.
Cupping therapy employs negative pressure, rather than compression, which offers excellent results. When injuries occur deep in the muscles, bleeding often occurs causing deep bruises. The negative pressure from cupping draws up old non-circulating stagnant blood and toxins from the area. By bringing them up to the surface and away from the injury, circulation can be restored to the affected area, thus creating space for fresh blood, increasing oxygen and nutrients to the tissue for a faster recovery. Cupping is very beneficial for many conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, sciatica, insomnia, digestive disorders, anxiety, fatigue, poor circulation, edema, sports injuries, chronic pain, nervous/muscle tension, chronic headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatism, neuralgia, menstrual problems, respiratory conditions such as asthma, and much more.
