Registered Massage Therapy

Registered massage therapy is the hands-on manipulation of the body’s soft tissues such as muscles, ligaments, tendons and connective tissue. RMTs are trained to assess and treat a wide range of conditions and injuries. An RMT treatment can naturally help you alleviate anxiety, stress, and find relief from headaches, and other conditions, including sleep disorders. There are thousands of modalities (or techniques) that a Registered Massage Therapist can perform during treatment, from the relaxing Swedish massage to an intense deep tissue treatment that focuses on addressing inflammation, chronic pain, or severe injuries.

How do I know if someone is a Registered Therapist? In BC, a registered massage therapist carries the designation of “RMT” beside their name and holds a current registration number with the Collage of Massage Therapists of British Columbia.

NAET: What are Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques?

NAET is a natural and non-invasive way to treat and eliminate allergies and all sorts of sensitivities. It was discovered in 1983 by Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad who believes that virtually all maladies (including developmental disorders) are caused when the electromagnetic signature of allergens disrupts energy flow within the body. The focus of NAET treatment is to restore the energy balance of the body through a variety of techniques, ranging from kinesiology and allopathy to acupuncture.

Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques

Allergies have a huge impact on our lives. Severe allergies control where you can go and what food you can enjoy, causing some people to become fearful of restaurants, school cafeterias, and friend’s homes. They place a huge strain on children who should be able to play and enjoy life worry-free. Instead, children afflicted with allergies are always concerned about their environment, and their parents are filled with worry.

Naturopathic Solutions for Eczema

Skin inflammation and dermatitis conditions, such as eczema, are hard to treat or cure with conventional medication. Part of the reason is that the root cause of the disease is still not clear. Treatment outcomes vary from person to person while some treatments are considered to have several side effects. More and more patients and doctors have been turning to naturopathic solutions to prevent it from worsening and increasing the chances of cure using natural alternative medicine treatments that have no side effects.

What Is Eczema? Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a skin inflammation that about 20% of the population suffers from. The characteristics are itchy, red, dry rash on the skin that cracks or crinkles like soft leather when acute. In worse cases, the skin can form scabs or erupt into painful blisters called eczema herpeticum, that is indicative of a bacterial infection. It is more commonly found behind the knees and inside the elbow in young children than adults and is more visible in colder climates such as Canada.

The eruptions can flare up from heat, sweat, stress, dry, cold weather or irritants such as synthetic fabrics, wool fibres or soap. In many others, it is caused by stress, genes or a hyperactive immune system.

Types of Eczema ● Atopic Dermatitis: Common eczema that can come from dryness. ● Contact Dermatitis: Arises from irritants or allergens such as solvents, chemicals or animal fibre such as wool. ● Dyshidrotic Eczema: Tiny red blisters on the feet and hands that itch constantly. This is usually caused by stress, humidity, metals or chromium salts. ● Nummular Eczema: Coin-sized itchy spots that are usually triggered by insect bites or dry skin. There are a few other variants, each of which is hard to treat and cure.

Naturopathic Treatments For Eczema There are several kinds of naturopathic treatments that can help reduce the symptoms and discomfort. Qualified healthcare practitioners prescribe herbal-medicine based skin care products instead of the commonly used hydrocortisone creams that are known to have side effects ranging from burning, itching and thinning skin to heartburn and dizziness in severe cases.

Natural Skin Care Creams: Natural skin care products such as coconut oil, red clover, Echinacea, eucalyptus, calendula, or goldenseal keep the skin well-hydrated, provide a protective barrier and reduce dryness.

Vitamin D&E: Taken on a regular basis, vitamin D is said to relieve itchiness, lesions and rashes in young children with eczema in the winter. Vitamin E is said to be as effective in nearly every form of eczema.

Diet: Look into the diet too. Inflamed skin is often caused by dairy products, eggs, wheat, peanuts or soy. Eliminate these elements one by one and check the reactions. If the symptoms cease, one or more of these elements may have been responsible for the breakouts. Include anti-inflammatory foods such as probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids in foods such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring and sardines, apples, broccoli, spinach, kale and other leafy vegetables.

Naturopathic doctors offer food sensitivity test which takes a minute amount of blood to test against minimum 95 commonly consumed food items.

Acupuncture: Stress is a big factor in triggering eczema. Try acupuncture for soothing the nervous system and reduce inflammation.

Treating Menopause Naturally With Acupuncture

For many women, menopause is a very difficult thing to go through and the symptoms can be both frustrating and uncomfortable to deal with. Hormone replacement therapy is one way of navigating through this transition, although many women do not wish to pursue this route because of the side effects. Acupuncture is a great option to consider for women looking to reduce their menopause symptoms in a natural way that is both safe and effective.

Menopause is more than just hot flashes and night sweats and is not something that happens at once, which is why it is referred to as a transition as symptoms can last many years, making it a very difficult experience. Insomnia, anxiety, weight gain, headaches, bloating, hair loss and irritability are all symptoms and can affect a person’s quality of life and prevent them from going about their daily routine. Menopause is painful and causes a lot of changes in a woman, both physically and emotionally and the transition can be very draining and challenging, and many women feel as though they are literally falling apart.

Acupuncture can help and if you ever feel like menopause is causing you to lose control, this treatment will help you regain it so that you can move smoothly through these transitional years. Acupuncture will help re-establish a sense of equilibrium in your system and weekly sessions will not only make your symptoms a lot more manageable, but they will also help you start to feel like yourself again. It is a treatment that more and more women are considering because they see real results and find themselves in a better mood and are even able to sleep better after their weekly sessions.

The reality is that medications and hormone therapy are not always effective and acupuncture can help treat the symptoms of menopause a lot more successfully. Women will experience less hot flashes and their night sweats will become less severe, as will their general sweating as a result of menopause, which can make many women live in a constant state of uncertainty. Acupuncture can also help with skin and hair problems that many women experience, so the overall benefits are many and it’s definitely worth a try for anyone suffering from menopause. While it may not eliminate the symptoms completely, it can certainly help reduce them and most women will see a significant improvement after a few sessions.

Acupuncture is gaining a lot of popularity because of its effectiveness and it is completely safe, so it’s certainly worth a try, especially if you wish to stay away from medications.
