HOLISTIC SOLUTIONS

Holistic therapies are an array of self help and healing techniques which involve working with the body mind and soul. These therapies include traditional healing medications and techniques from different cultures (mostly eastern).

Though modern medicine does not accept the validity of most holistic therapies, many people claim to have benefitted from them. The biggest advantage of holistic therapies is that they are natural, non-invasive and usually side-effect free. The disadvantage is that not all of them have scientific validity, therefore replacing allopathic medicine with holistic healing therapies may not be a great idea, but adopting a combination of holistic therapies and conventional medicine can have (and has had according to many) almost miraculous effects.

Some of the most popular holistic therapies are :

• Acupuncture
• Acupressure
• Ayurveda
• Biofeedback
• Energy healing
• Flower Remedies
• Herbal Medicine
• Hydrotherapy
• Hypnotherapy
• Light Therapy
• Color therapy
• Crystal therapy
• Meditation
• Naturopathy
• Neurolinguistic Programming
• Traditional Chinese Medicine
• Yoga
• Aromatherapy
• Reiki; etc

Every holistic healing therapy has its roots in ancient wisdom and texts, before choosing one it is important to learn about the fundamentals of the therapy. The therapy whose principles you believe in the most is most likely to be effective for you.
