Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy
reference: the Four Seasons Spa in Westlake Village, CA
Aromatherapy is the systematic use of volatile plant oils known an essential oils for the treatment or prevention of disease. It is a form of complementary therapy designed to treat the whole person and not just the symptom or disease by assisting the body's natural ability to balance, regulate, heal and maintain itself.

Essential oils consist of tiny aromatic molecules that are readily absorbed via the skin, and whilst breathing they enter the lungs. These therapeutic constituents next enter the bloodstream and are carried around the body where they can deliver their beneficial healing powers. Because they are highly concentrated, only a small quantity of essential oil is required to bring about results.

When using good quality essential oils correctly, the soothing combination of beautiful aromas, massage, aromatic baths and other treatments all work to regulate, balance, heal and maintain your entire being by working with nature, and not against it. A far cry from allopathic medicine, which tends to take a 'sledgehammer to crack a nut' approach.

          


A holistic approach

Today, aromatherapy is one of the most popular of all complementary therapies, offering a wide range of highly effective treatments to both the acute and chronic stages of illness and disease. At the same time, regular use of aromatherapy treatments and home-use products can help to strengthen the immune system, thereby establishing a preventative approach to overall health.
One of the reasons that aromatherapy has been so hugely successful is because it uses a holistic approach, whereby the aromatherapist takes into account a persons medical history, emotional condition, general health and lifestyle before planning a course of treatment. The whole person is treated - not just the symptoms of an illness - and this is in direct opposition to the modern trend of just treating the presented condition.

Backache, irritable bowel syndrome or headaches, for example, are often the result of stress and not actually a physical problem. Therefore no amount of pill-popping is really going to provide a long term solution since it only masks the symptoms without addressing the problems. By looking at the causes of the stress and providing treatments to ease and manage it, the aromatherapist will alleviate the condition in a much more efficient manner.


                       


Stress makes you sick

It has long been known that stress accounts for a staggering amount of illness in modern society, and aromatherapy offers one of the finest ways of combating the ravages of stress without having to resort to drugs which can be habit forming and damaging to your health. This is yet another reason that aromatherapists believe taking an holistic approach with aromatherapy promotes positive physical and mental balance.
Scientists and doctors have known for a long time that negative and positive emotions really can change the complex chemistry of our bodies, and these changes can have a negative or positive effect on the immune system. For example, research has shown how prolonged stress can cause the body to over-produce cortisol and adrenalin which are hormones produced by the adrenal glands.

These two hormones are normally secreted to produce a burst of energy as part of the 'fight or flight' response, and of course this response is an essential tool for survival. Prolonged periods of emotional and psychological pressures however, means that the over-production of these hormones can begin to weaken the integrity of the immune system because they reduce the level of T-helper cells, and inhibit the production of natural killer cells.


     


Evidence based results

Research is continually re-affirming the efficacy of aromatherapy treatments, and the results are now very hard to dismiss. A recent study in the USA has confirmed the long held belief of aromatherapists that Jasmine is a powerful relaxant and an effective aid to restful sleep. The researcher explained that the purpose of the study was specifically to investigate some of the beliefs behind aromatherapy.
Dr. Bryan Raudenbush and his colleagues at the Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, West Virginia, found that people who slept in rooms fragranced with Jasmine appeared to sleep more peacefully and reported higher afternoon alertness than when spending the night in a Lavender-scented room, or one with no added fragrance at all. Similar research around the world has proven time and again the wide range of benefits that can be received from the multifaceted art of aromatherapy.

Cruelty-free therapy

This natural form of complementary therapy dating back to ancient times is being warmly embraced by today's environmentally conscious and caring society, in which people are increasingly unwilling to accept the cruelty inflicted on animals in the unnecessary testing of drugs and beauty products.
The essential oils used within aromatherapy have been tried and tested on humans for thousands of years, and with great success. Therefore, when used correctly we can be absolutely sure of their safety and efficacy without the need to test them further on animals.


 

Colon Hydrotherapy

Colon Hydrotherapy and colonic irrigation offer you an excellent opportunity to restore and maintain optimum colon health in your life.
The colon hydrotherapy articles give you a good introduction to the practice and health benefits associated with the practice of Colon Hydrotherapy... and a basis for determining if colonic irrigation could be of any benefit to you.
The practice of cleansing ones colon (upper and lower bowel) is by no means a new idea, and when you discover some of its many health benefits, you may be encouraged to pursue this further... either by obtaining a colonic (enema) kit, or by engaging the services of a professional colon hydrotherapist.
Just for clarification... You may find this type of alternative therapy referred to by different names, depending on the area of the country you live, and the type of apparatus being employed to effect the colon cleanse.
Colonic irrigation, colon hydrotherapy, high colonic generally involve the use of low-pressure water — created mechanically or by gravity — and administered in the presence of, and with the assistance of, a professionally trained colon therapist.
Enema, colon lavage, clysters are generally self-administered and only involve the cleansing and evacuation of the lower sigmoid colon and rectum. Not as thorough a cleanse, but still of some benefit.
If you wish to consult with a colon hydrotherapist... Try looking in your local yellow pages directory under the listings Colonic Irrigation, Colon Hydrotherapy, Colon Therapy, Colon Irrigation or use our colon therapist search to find a colon hydrotherapy practitioner in your area.
Colon Hydrotherapy or Colon Cleansers?
Frequently we are asked, “Do you use an intestinal colon cleanser to prepare for colon therapy... to relieve constipation... or to maintain good colon health?”
The answer is . . . Yes!
We've tried many different colon cleansers over the years and the effectiveness of each varies greatly. Colon cleansing success is dependent on pre-existing colon health and the amount of water you consume on a daily basis. The use of a colon cleanse product may not be appropriate for those with particularly sensitive or diseased colons... But for the vast majority, there are exceptionally good reasons to use an all natural colon cleanser!
For more information about excellent colon cleansers that work for the majority of our clientele... Take a look at the colon cleansing health products we feature in the HealthShop.
And take some time to learn all the benefits of colonic irrigation using Colon Hydrotherapy and why maintaining good colon health could be the smartest thing you do to stay healthy...

Colon cleansing (also known as colon therapy) encompasses a number of alternative medical therapies intended to remove feces and nonspecific toxinsfrom the colon and intestinal tract. Colon cleansing may take the form of colon hydrotherapy (also called a colonic or colonic irrigation) or oral cleansing regimens such as dietary supplements. During the 2000s internet marketing and infomercials of colon supplements increased.[1]
Some forms of colon hydrotherapy use enemas to inject water, sometimes mixed with herbs or with other liquids, into the colon via the rectum using special equipment. Oral cleaning regimes use dietary fiber, herbs, dietary supplements, or laxatives. Practitioners believe that accumulations of putrefied feces line the walls of the large intestine and that these accumulations harbor parasites or pathogenic gut flora, causing nonspecific symptoms and general ill-health. This "auto-intoxication" hypothesis is based on medical beliefs of the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks and was discredited in the early 20th century.
No scientific evidence supports the alleged benefits of colon cleansing.[3] The bowel itself is not dirty and barring drugs, disease or mechanical blockage, cleans itself naturally without assistance. Certain enema preparations have been associated with heart attacks and electrolyte imbalances, and improperly prepared or used equipment can cause infection or damage to the bowel. Frequent colon cleansing can lead to dependence on enemas to defecate and some herbs may reduce the effectiveness of prescription drugs.

        Now a day the weather are changeing frequently, so please take care of your health. Today I'm going to tell you about the Alternative medicine therapies, as an alternative of treatment. If you are sick, it may be a way to treat your symptoms.
       Acupuncture is the practice of inserting thin needles into specific body points to improve health and well-being. It originated in China more than 2,000 years ago.
Source:http://www.thaiacupuncture.com/index.php
      Acupuncture is also an alternative medicine that treats patients by insertion and manipulation of needles in the body. Its proponents variously claim that it relieves pain, treats infertility, treats disease, prevents disease, promotes general health, or can be used for therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture typically incorporates traditional Chinese medicine as an integral part of its practice and theory. The term “acupuncture” is sometimes used to refer to insertion of needles at points other than traditional ones, or to applying an electric current to needles in acupuncture points.
       Many researches have shown that acupuncture reduces nausea and vomiting after surgery and chemotherapy. It can also relieve pain. Researchers don't fully understand how acupuncture works. It might aid the activity of your body's pain-killing chemicals. It also might affect how you release chemicals that regulate blood pressure and flow.
Acupuncture is one of the most mainstream of alternative medicine in Thailand with an increasing number of people seeking for acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture is more recent development practised predominantly by doctors with the uses of wide ranges on the basis of western medical diagnosis. Some of the treatments with integrative medicine are the most effective and more advanced over any medical treatment. Thai practices of acupuncture use medical traditions from China. In Bangkok the best-known hospital is Hua Chiew Hospital, a Chinese medicine hospital with several acupuncturists on staff.
                Dr. Siri Kijkornpan , 65 yeas old , a famous  acupuncturist in Thailand, was the consultant in Obstetric and Gynecology in many private hospitals in Bangkok before. He was also general practitioner as well as medical acupuncture specialist who was trained in “China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine” Beijing, China since 1989 . He was shown on the television for four times, speaking on the topic of “ Indications of Acupuncture and Moxibustion”and "Miracles of Acupuncture" with the emphasis of rationale of Acupuncture (which is the most popular and acceptable alternative medicine in the modern world) in the relationship with western medicine for the achievement of therapeutic purposes. He was also guest speaker in many private and government and private hospitals as well as acceptable resort and spa in Bangkok and big cities in Thailand.
      Eventually, I hope that after you've read my posts then. You will benefit from the information above. If you have an opportunity to try acupuncture. Come share your experiences and hope you are healthy.
