Star Wolf May 30, 2019 Health

The ancient art of natural healing has been around probably since the beginning of time. In this "New Age", there is a bounteous amount of people looking for and changing the ways they heal themselves of disease "dis-ease". It seems as if the days of relying on conventional healing are creeping towards an end. While many may still want and/or need to visit a "medical professional", others are quite keen on going the alternate route and searching high and low for the best ways to heal themselves naturally. There takes a lot of research to be able to successfully heal on your own. What's great about alternative or holistic healing is that there are countless options to choose from. Here is a list of 11 natural ways to heal.

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.
