Herbal Healing

When it comes to healing, we typically want a simple remedy that's quick and easy. This includes the usage of herbal teas, tinctures, salves, oils more. For example, to sooth a sore throat, you could steep some fresh ginger root to make a warm and spicy tea. Or if you are bitten by an insect, apply crushed sage leaves directly to the area of the bit. If you have noticed, almost everyone you know has some sort of collection of herbs and spices in the kitchens or pantries. With that in mind, notice how easy it is for you to simply learn additional information about those very same herbs and spices so that you know how to treat any ailments you may have.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is one of my favorite natural healing methods. This form of therapy helps to emotionally and physically balance the mind, body, and soul through the sense of smell. Have you ever been in a particularly bad mood, and then "coincidently" you catch the sweet smell of cakes and pastries coming from your local bakery? What about feeling as if you were lacking in energy and then peeling a fresh orange or lemon and becoming completely energized with a sense of renewal? To treat with aromatherapy there are many options to choose from based on your liking, these include: candles, incense, oil diffusers and aroma sprays.

Sound

Little do some know, they unconsciously heal themselves through sound all the time. Sound healing is used to raise the body's vibration or frequency, which ultimately causes a change in mood.  A list of sound healing instruments include: harps, drums, singing bowls, and tuning forks.

Yoga

It is believed that yoga may have originated over 5,000 years ago in India. What is yoga? Yoga is the practice of optimizing the functions of the body (reducing stress, improving flexibility and gaining strength to name a few) through a series of asanas (postures). Yoga is practiced almost everywhere, including: homes, studios, beaches and even in the forests.

Meditation
Possibly the most powerful healing technique used today, is the process of stilling the mind. When you meditate, you maintain a consistent flow of concentration. Focus can be placed upon many thing such as a certain thought, a color, image, sound, smell, or breath (Pranic healing).

Benefits of Meditating:

• Improves learning ability
• Relieves stress
• Increases energy
• Improved concentration and memory
• Reduces insomnia 
• Increases self-esteem
• Reduces biological aging

Color or Chromotherapy Healing

Chromotherapy or color treatment is the process of healing through color. In Egyptian mythology, the god Thoth is responsible for discovering color therapy. Each and every color has it's own special healing properties. Tools used to assist the healing of ailments: Gems and stones, candles, light, paint, colored clothing.

Hydrotherapy

This type of therapy utilizes water to heal naturally. Different methods include usage of saunas, steam baths, and Wtasu (an aquatic massage conducted in a warm water pool).

Pranic Healing
Pranic healing, prana being the Sanskrit word for "life force", involves sending energy through the body by the laying of the hands. To increase prana energy, breathing exercises or Pranayama can be done which will help balance negative and positive bioelectrical currents in the body.

An alkaline diet consists of fruits, vegetables and natural plant based proteins (usually raw) that help the body to maintain an electric pH level. pH (potential of Hydrogen) is a scale used to specify the acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substances, which measures from 0 to 14. If the pH is low, that means there is more acid present. The higher the pH, the more alkalinity. Research shows that the more balanced your pH levels are, the lesser the chance the body has of allowing disease to take root. If you take a look back in time, you will find that almost 90% of our ancestors lived based on an alkaline diet. There were no frightening processed foods back then, so their diets did not have a negative impact on them.


What to Know About the Alkaline diet:

• Helps to prevent disease in the body
• Foods that are low on the pH scale are more acidic and can lead to health issues
• Raw fruits, veggies and unprocessed nuts and oils should be eaten daily
• Helps to prevent issues with inflammation, diabetes, muscle mass, hypertension, and chronic pain
• Aids in weight management
• Improves immunity and vitamin absorption
• Improves digestion and reduces gas
• Supports memory and concentration
• Boosts energy levels
• Makes you happy overall!
