What alternative health practices do you use?

I think that the United States is coming around slowly. The benefits of chiropractic work are now recognized. The benefits of meditation as a way to reduce stress is recognized. It just takes a lot of research and a lot of time for anything to be approved for use by the government. They want to do as much as possible to make sure that it is safe for people to use. So it takes a really long time. I cant wait until the benefits of massage are given more recognition! It can really do so much, but people just shrug it off as a luxury.

I use herbs and natural healing ways. I havent been to the doctors in 14 years and that was to have our last child. When we get an infection it is garlic that we turn too. I also take Omega 3 for my heart and a multi vitamin along with Super B complex and all of it seems to keep me on the road of health. My hubby goes to the chiropractor for his back and it has done wonders for him. Natural is the way to go in my opinion.

I am just starting to get into the wild life farming. Getting to gether a collection of wild life food like herbs and finding out what they are used for along with fruits like elderberries. I rekindled my curiousity about this the other day over a dandelion that I repotted for my granddaughter. You might think it's weed, but it has many uses. You can actually eat it. It's just amazing the things I have found out about wild plant life. I am going to be growing my own picked from the wild garden.

I go to a naturopath and a chiropractor. The treatments have been anywhere from extremely effective to somewhat effective depending on what they are. I have a Yuwie blog somewhere more or less on this topic. Basically, why don't all these various different kind of practitioners talk to one another and why doesn't insurance cover all of them?

I havent used anything personally. However, when my son was born, he was allergic to all protiens. The formula he was on was amino acid based and 40 dollars a can. My mother had been going to an acupunturist for a while at that point and insisted that he go to her accupuncturist. The Dr. did accupressure instead of accupunture (no needles involved since my son was a baby) and, heaven help me, the stuff worked. My son can eat anything now. I will say, you really have to believe it for it to work When I went with my son, they had to get someone else to hold him because I was skeptical and it kept the treatment from working.

I used and eat lots of vegetables and fruits to makes my body healthy. I take a bath twice a day cos I lived in hot and humid are in this world. I love body massage, too. To fight stress I go to the spa one per month and I feel good. Acupressure massage is good, Hand acupressure and foot acupressure massage is good. Bentosa or Cupping is also good for our health. Me and my mother drink herbal juices. Yoga is also good for the body. Others they use crystals, others magnets as alternative practices for they're health. Some they have Medium spiritual healing power but I did not go there. I'm afraid to that practices. Have a nice day.

Well, my first concern is my diet...and to that end, I try to incorporate as many organic elements...as my budget will allow. Fortunately, we have quite a few stores in my area that are either natural foods centers or many of the larger traditional chains have sections dedicated to organic products...so I can bargain shop. And because the quality of some of the foods that we use aren't giving up all the nutrients we need, I do take supplements. I once read an article that referred to modern medicine as the alternative health practice...and I just gotta agree with that. Modern medicine is big business, those large pharmaceutical corporations are going to protect their investments no matter what. So, it's really up to us [natural health advocates] to continue to support what we believe in. And that is happening, recently a Whole Foods store opened in our area and I was amazed at the turn-out. About 10 years ago another company attempted the same thing and were forced to shut down...folks just wasn't ready for it...

I don't have any alternative health practices. But one thing's for sure; I will always need music to soothe and relax me. I find that a day of just relaxing and listening to nice and soothing music helps me to think better and do my stuff better later on. Herbs are good; I've heard of its good cause. I think my late grandma and the ones before that love herbs too and they were pretty healthy. There are some shops here in my country that still cater to herbs. Not bad, I'd say. A good form of healing.

i believe in homeopathy and find it very effective for my ailments. In India, it is widely practiced and has many staunch suppporters too. when my son was a toddler, he was afflicted with a nagging cough and fever which simply would not get cured no matter what medicines the doctor prescribed. blood tests were carried out, and the result was normal. that is when a good friend suggested homeopathy and to my happiness, within a couple of days, i could find improvement in his condition. his ailment disappeared altogether within the week and from then on, i have started taking homeopathic medicines for any illnesses. i think people should definitly give alternative medicines a try.

In the house we are drinking regularly a herbal liquid. This is part of mushroom family the name is Tibicos. We been drinking it for over a year and I think it's effective.

I think there is no problem use alternative health! This program can support the medical therapy! Sometimes this therapy didn't effect to make better! but most of medication from chemical will be bad effect of our body! Sometimes it can destruction part or our body and make it doesn't work effectively.Alternative health such as use herbal therapy can improve our body protection and it's out of chemical! So it can make our body health! It's depends on our believe! For good referent, you can ask the first time the alternative therapy would you try! Ask for the profit and lose of the therapy. What kind of material the use! What the effect to our body! If more profit you have from the therapy, you can continue that! If nothing you have, don't continue that!
