More and more alternative health treatments are available these days, however how successful are they in solving our health problems?
A few years ago my girlfriend was having some trouble with her health and complained of constant aches in various areas of her body. She felt lethargic and generally low. It was affecting many aspects of her life including her career; she worked for a company that provides budget package holidays. She went to the doctor and tried conventional treatments and tablets. Despite her best efforts and a positive attitude this did not prove to be the answer.
A friend recommended reflexology and despite many reservations and doubts my girlfriend agreed to give it a go. She returned from her appointment full of excitement and stated that she had never felt more relaxed. In a way it is a bit like the famous saying “horses for courses”; it helped her but that is not to say that it would help everyone.
My girlfriend then decided to book a series of four aromatherapy sessions. She really enjoyed it and is now looking into other treatments such as reiki and things like an indian head massage, she is becoming hooked.
As for my own experiences, I am somebody who had a speech impediment known as stuttering from the age of four. My parents regularly took me to traditional speech therapy over the next eleven years. I was advised to speak very slowly and to take a deep breathe before I spoke. I had no confidence with these therapists as a lot of my friends spoke quicker than I did and not one of them took a deep breath before they spoke. They also had never had a stutter themselves and therefore I felt it was impossible for them to understand what I was going through.
After working very hard for nearly year I managed to stop stuttering. I did this by reading many books to do with positive thinking and mind over a matter; I also bought a brilliant self-help DVD from the How To Stuttering Centre in England. This was my own form of alternative therapy and it worked for me.
I am now doing very well working as a web promotion specialist; it sure helps being able to talk fluently.
