Complementary Therapies
Massage, Reflexology, and Reiki are examples of holistic complementary therapies. These therapies are called "complementary therapies" because they often can be used alongside (or complement) more conventional medical care you receive from your doctor such as medication you may be taking.
Many complimentary therapies can trace their origins back thousands of years, for example, evidence has been found to show that Reflexology was practised by the ancient Egyptians.
Complimentary therapies take a holistic approach to treat the person. This means that the person is treated as a whole, with all aspects of their lives, diet, lifestyle and emotions being considered, rather than just focusing on treating the symptoms of a particular illness.
With more and more people leading more stressful lives the body will very often be left in a state of imbalance, with the vital energy pathways blocked, thus preventing the body from functioning correctly.
Using Holistic Complimentary Therapy can help restore the natural balance of the body and many people report positive results from using complementary therapies.
