H: Homeopathy and Herbal Medicine
Homeopathy is a natural form of medicine that uses minute doses of natural substances to stimulate the body's self-healing processes. Homeopathic remedies are tailored to the individual's specific symptoms and overall health profile, aiming to treat the root cause of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms. Herbal Medicine involves the use of plant-based remedies including essential oils to support health and treat various conditions. Herbal treatments provide essential nutrients, antioxidants, and therapeutic compounds that aid in healing and maintaining health. Herbs can address a wide range of issues, from digestive problems to immune support.
O: Osteopathy (Especially Craniosacral Osteopathy)
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that emphasizes the relationship between the body's structure and function. Osteopathic doctors use hands-on techniques to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal issues, enhance circulation, and support the body's inherent healing abilities.
Craniosacral Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach focusing on the craniosacral system, which includes the bones of the skull, spine, and sacrum( triangular bone at the bottom of the spine) as well as the cerebrospinal fluid which is produced deep inside the brain flows through the spinal cord all the way to the top of the sacrum. Osteopathic doctors use light pressure to release tensions and restrictions, improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and promoting overall health and well-being and increased functioning of the brain and spinal cord.
