Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points. The Alexander Technique teaches one to recognize and change habits that interfere with well integrated functioning. The student is guided by the teacher's tactile and verbal cues, which are designed to elicit a specific reorganization of the body, primarily focused on the head to spine relationship. The student participates in a new kinesthetic experience, allowing the natural ease of movement to emerge.
Aromatherapy is the use of pure essential and absolute oils.
Feldenkrais is movement re-education. It is a way to reorganize all of who you are, through changing habits and learning to bring awareness to your intentions, be they physical, emotional, spiritual. Many individuals receive training from other sources. Naturopathic medicine is not yet licensed in all 50 states. It is a good idea to inquire about the training and background, both for those seeking a health care provider and for those thinking about a career in natural medicine.
