Alternative Therapy's


                                                    
                                                            Natural Therapeutic Treatments  
We live in a hectic, fast-paced time and life can often be very overwhelming. Between the pressures of society and the expectations we put on ourselves, it can feel like it is all too much. For this reason, it is important to really centre ourselves in order to regain inner peace. 

Below are a few alternative therapeutic treatments that can help improve the mind, body and soul.

Ecotherapy

Ecotherapy is a therapeutic technique to help people achieve wellness through working with nature and the outdoors.

Ecotherapy has these benefits:

·         Improves mindfulness  



·         Encourages you to be active


·         Helps you connect with nature

·         Improves mental well-being

·         Can help build confidence and social skills

I have a personal connection with Ecotherapy, (which is a new term to me, I have always called it Green Therapy.) My mother has suffered from long-term mental health problems. The one activity that got her out of the house was when she got herself involved with a gardening group. She continues to teach me about the wonders of nature.

Music therapy

This is by far one of the most helpful and enjoyable therapies. Music has the power to help us connect with ourselves and express, learn and bond with people from all walks of life, through the use of different musical mediums.



Music therapy has the ability to help with the following:

·         Cognitive function


·          Uplift spirits



·         Help improve communication abilities

·         Improve mental health

·         Improve social skills

·         Enhance self-awareness


Personally, I am working on music therapy because I am naturally an introvert and music therapy is helping me find my voice.

Art therapy  

Art therapy is a healing approach to addressing emotional issues. This is another form of therapy that helps people express themselves creatively, myself included - I personally enjoy pencil sketching. I love how people can really embrace their creative style by using materials and other art forms to communicate or relay a 
message.

Art therapy has these benefits:

·         Address emotional issues

·         Improve mental well-being

·         Help you to get in touch with your creative side

·         Improve mindfulness

·         Build confidence

These different therapeutic methods have proven to help impact a lot of people's lives. If you are looking to get into some alternative therapies, there are many programmes you can join. Alternatively, you can practice them independently.

Aromatherapy Oils

Aromatherapy has been practised for thousands of years and has continued to serve us in a variety of ways. The oils are used in medicines, cosmetics, recipes, rituals and spas frequently for their aroma, medicinal, ceremonial and therapeutic benefits. Most recently, essential oils have been used in hospitals as clinical complimentary treatments in patient care. This is a positive sign that shows how marrying modern medicines and holistic services together can greatly help with improving well being.  Emotions Our emotions vary and the feelings we experience can unsettle us at times. Essential oils are useful as we can implement them daily to help us with our emotions. There are oils that help to relax, de-stress, boost mood, and stimulate our senses. One of my go-to oils is Frankincense which serves to help with a number of areas. It is an oil that has the potential to balance hormones and can be used to relieve depression and anxiety symptoms.  Body You

The Gift of Nature

Nature never ceases to amaze me. It offers us a wealth of information; recipes, health benefits, beauty aids etc. There is plenty to learn and appreciate about the gifts of nature. Symbolic Ties  We can personalise seasonal patterns and behaviours by reflecting upon natures symbolic meanings to find comfort from our own perspectives. For example, when you face difficulty it may seem unbearable, but once you take a moment to look outside of yourself, nature proves that things can get better with time and rebirth is often essential. I believe that the same way nature adapts against the odds, we too can do the same. It also amazes me, how cultures relate to nature symbolically. With Feng Shui, for instance, flowers are thought to hold energy and protect. In Florology, however, flowers express messages between people. The Gift Of Aromatherapy  The oils are extracted through different methods to produce precious oils. These gifts are called essential oils

Treat Yourself To Some Time Alone

When I think about coziness, I think about being warm and comfortable. I picture myself centering into tranquility in the comfort of my home. I usually try and make Sunday my lazy day where I let go of any sense of guilt towards not being productive.  To me, it is simply my day to relax, slow down and refuel my energy. Don't get me wrong, I still potter around doing some light tidying or cooking, but it is all done with minimal stress. Setting The Ambience Creating a nice mood helps you feel a sense of harmony within your living environment and allows you to truly feel relaxed and be at ease at home. It is supposed to be your safe zone and the ultimate place to retreat from the outside world. This means you should be conscious about looking after your home so that you can work towards making your space as inviting and comfortable for yourself as possible. Time for You We often have multiple interactions with people daily, whether it is in person, on the phone,
