Reflexology for Headaches

The upper part of the underside of the big toe and the lower part of the toenail of the big toe correspond to the head and brain. The lower portion of the upper side of the big toe corresponds to the neck. When reflexology locates a tender spot on the part of the big toe corresponding to the neck, applying pressure to this spot will relieve the tenderness in the toe and tension in the neck that could be causing headaches. Schedule you appointment with Traci Fors and allow her to teach you this technique.

Traci Fors is a licensed massage therapist and reflexologist at The Center for True Harmony.  Call 480-539-6646 today to schedule a Reflexology session with her.  Your feet (and body) will thank you!

Reflexology and your Solar Plexus

Within the physical body, the solar plexus is found right in the middle of the upper half of the trunk of the torso, where the rib cage comes together at the stomach level in front of the diaphragm. On the feet, it can be found if you draw an imaginary line from the second toe down, below the ball of the foot, right within that hollow. It can also be found if you gently squeeze the top of the foot inward. You should find a “little dimple space”- that’s the solar plexus point.

This reflex point is great for relieving insomnia, stress and anxiety. However if you are feeling a little “low in energy” this point will also help to increase energy levels. Reflexology will always work to balance the body from any extreme.

Now that you know where your solar plexus reflex point is located, I will share with you how to stimulate it.

While seated, bring the foot of your choice up and over the opposite knee and allow it to comfortably rest there.

·

With the opposite side hand, use your thumb to press in and slightly upward on the point (hold for 20 seconds). As you slowly release pressure, don’t loose contact with the point; just relax the pressure. Repeat this 3 times and then move to the opposite foot.

·

You can also try inhaling as you press in and exhaling as you release out.

To schedule a Reflexology session with Traci Fors, LMT and Reflexologist, please call 480-539-6646.

Americans Are Switching from MD to ND~ Should You?

According to a government report, Americans spent $33.9 billion out-of-pocket on complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in 2007. CAM is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products such as herbal supplements, massage, yoga, chiropractic, and acupuncture that are not generally considered to be part of conventional medicine.

 

Although this is a small percentage of the total dollars spent on health care, people are paying out of pocket for these expenses. This shows how much people value these alternative therapies. A quarter of the out of pocket cost spent on physician visits went to alternative physicians such as chiropractors and acupuncturists. The main reason individuals seek alternative care is for chronic pain.

 

One of the main reasons that people turn to alternative therapies for chronic pain is that many times conventional medicine just doesn't work. Isn't it ironic that one tries the most invasive form of medicine before trying alternative, less invasive forms of medicine? Cost is a huge factor in this. If one has insurance that will cover conventional therapies, that is the first place people turn. Most alternative therapies require out of pocket payments, which can deter potential patients. Yet, these are the therapies many people turn to when "nothing else is working".

 

One client at The Center for True Harmony came in after being in chronic neck and back pain for years. Last summer, when the pain became unbearable she turned to conventional medicine, basically taking all kinds of drugs to try to find some relief. To her dismay, she developed other symptoms; gut issues, and fatigue from the medications and her pain persisted. This summer, as she again came to the point of unbearable pain, she decided to try an alternative route. After speaking with her Naturopathic Physician, she started a weekly regimen of an acupuncture session followed by a 60 minute massage session. After one month she reported taking significantly less OTC pain medication and feeling much better. After about 6 weeks of weekly treatment, she was able to start coming every other week. This has increased her quality of life significantly. She has come in just a couple of times for acute pain and her body has responded to the treatments very quickly. Her body has learned to relax much faster. And obviously, no side effects.

 

She probably paid more out of pocket for all of her acupuncture and massage treatments than she did at the conventional doctor, but they worked! If she had decided to keep trying conventional medicine, keep taking pain medication, what would have been her cost? Doctor visit co-pays add up. Days off work because she is still in pain and exhausted from the side effects of the medication she is on. And lower quality of life is the ultimate cost!

 

So, people are switching. Perhaps changes are coming that will allow the average Jane to receive a therapy that will benefit her in the long run, not just "a method of treating disease with remedies that produce effects different from those caused by the disease itself". The effects that are produced are often not desired. Rather it seems that it would be desirable "to allow the body's vital ability to heal and maintain itself." Consider seeing a ND. You may just wish you had made the switch sooner.

Cranial Sacral Can Help Get Rid of Migraines

Cranial Sacral Unwinding can assist with getting rid of migraines by allowing the muscles in the neck to unwind, naturally relieving tension. This will also help by allowing more space in the cranium for increased blood flow.

Reflexology and Menstrual Cramps

Reflexology can assist with your menstrual cramps by helping the muscles to relax just like a regular massage.  Schedule a reflexology session and we can apply a Castor Oil Pack for you. When applied with heat this can aid tremendously in reducing inflammation and cleansing, helping to ease the pain.

What is Hypnosis?

The majority of people fall under the assumption that life has its ups and downs and that there is nothing that can be done about the way one has been taught or trained to think, feel, or react.  The reality, seemingly surreal, is that everyone has the answers within; it all starts with awareness. 

            Hypnotherapy may be one of the oldest mind healing modalities known to date, however in the last few decades it has unfortunately been portrayed mostly as a magicians trick or a jest.  Although some techniques are new, the main purpose of hypnotherapy is to expand the client's own self-awareness.  The client and hypnotherapist work together to overcome the programming of the past (learned behaviors/ reactions/ habits), through a process of simply implanting the new and desired outcomes.  Through suggestions to the subconscious, the client is capable of overcoming obstacles they believed couldn't be changed or affected.  These techniques move the client toward the natural process of being successful, having health and allowing happiness into their lives.  

            Below are the answers to the most commonly asked questions about hypnosis:

 

What is hypnosis?

Whenever you do anything automatic, your conscious mind is diverted from your subconscious

and you are more likely to go into a hypnotic state.  Some automatic activities are more apt than

others to allow or provide daydreaming.  For example, your mind might drift when you are

dining alone, taking a shower, mowing the lawn or jogging.  These activities are stored in the

subconscious.  While you are functioning in this automatic mode, it is quite easy to drift from an

alert state into a different level of consciousness.  Daydreaming is the first of the levels in a

trance state.  Hypnosis is a natural state of mind.  You are not asleep while in hypnosis.  During hypnosis, the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed, natural state, while the subconscious mind remains awake and receptive to suggestion.

Each week we will post different Hypnosis Q's and Misconceptions.  These weekly postings are written by Jezaree McNutt, Licenced Massage Therapist, Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master and Hypnotherapist at The Center for True Harmony.  She can use hypnotheapy to assist people who have weight issues, want to quit smoking, have a fear they want to conquer, want to improve their overall state of health, and more.  To schedule your appointment with Jezaree call 480-539-6646 or email info@trueharmonywellness.com.
