Natural Remedies
Practices to support the natural healing processes of mind-body wellness
Natural Remedies for Optimum Wellbeing
Natural remedies include a very broad range of techniques and practices, such as aromatherapy, nutrition, light or sound, magnetic therapy, flowers, herbs, and many others.
This is a group of therapies which focuses on the interaction between supporting health through the use of naturally-occurring substances, practices, or interventions.
Whilst they often incorporate physical elements, natural remedies tend to be based upon the more subtle biological or energetic components of wellbeing, Therefore they can be difficult to measure accurately within a scientific framework because their effects are primarily phenomenological and experienced from a personal perspective.
Natural remedies usually provide a supportive role in optimising or restoring wellness, and are best used in conjunction with coaching, bodywork, and similar mind-body therapies.
The benefits of natural remedies should not be under-estimated. Practices such as sound therapy can be highly effective in releasing emotions or re-balancing the mind and nervous system. Aromatherapy is great for stabilising emotional wellbeing, and can also be used for a range of physical ailments, such as minor infections, or skin health. Magnetic therapy is not only widely used in acupressure and similar energy-based therapies, but is also well-documented to provide relief from conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or localised muscular pain. Nutritional therapy can be central in a recovery plan for conditions such as fibromyalgia where there can be a strong immune-based component, and a highly effective way of reducing pain.
Natural remedies fit well into a holistic approach to health because they really do take into account all of the more subtle elements of human wellbeing experience which are often ignored, including the importance of nutrition and energetic vitality.
