Reiki Healing:

Reiki (pronounced "Ray-kee") is Japanese for "universal life-force energy". Reiki is a method of natural healing using the universal life force energy to promote healing.

When the energy in our body becomes imbalanced or depleted, due to stress or illness, our body can no longer heal itself. It needs help.

Reiki is a powerful hands-on healing technique in which this energy is drawn through the practitioner's body and then transferred to the client. Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blocks are released during a healing to bring clients greater health, well-being and harmony.

Reiki supports the body's natural ability to heal itself. It vitalizes body, soul and mind.

Benefits of Reiki:

Reiki functions on all levels. Mental, spiritual, physically and emotionally. It balances the body's energies. It loosens up blocked energy and promotes a state of relaxation. It cleans the body of poisons and enhances deeper detoxification.

Herbalism:

Herbs are used to relieve stress and tension. Herb relaxants include :

Black Cohosh,
Black Haw
California Poppy
Chamomile
Cramp Bark
Hops
Hyssop
Jamaican Dogwood
Lady's Slipper
Lavender
Lime Blossom
Misletoe
Motherwort
Pasque Flower
Passion Flower
Rosemary
St.John's Wort
Skullcap
Valerian.

In addition to the herbs that work directly on the nervous system, the anti-spasmodic herbs - which affect the peripheral nerves and the muscle tissue - can have an indirect relaxing effect on the whole system. Remember the connection - if you can calm the nervous system, you'll calm the physical system.

Homeopathy:

Homeopathy treats the patient as one integral unit of mind and body.
Homeopathic medicines for anxiety are selected on the basis of presenting symptoms, the site of manifestation and the personality of the patient. After taking homeopathic medicines, the patient can himself judge the response. He develops a general feeling of well-being and looks at life with a positive attitude. The associated symptoms like loss of appetite, insomnia, headaches also are greatly relieved.
