Mental Health Day 2022

On this #MentalHealthDay2022, I am sharing some of my thoughts on the roles of allopathic, complementary and alternative healers in the management of Psychiatric Disorders/Mental Illnesses.

Find it here: https://kemiowonibi.com/mentalhealthday2022/

Mental disorders are more common than we are willing to admit, with over 50% of the population experiencing some form of mental disorder in their lifetime. The leading mental health disorders include depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, substance-induced psychotic disorders, sleep-wake disorder, tress and trauma-related disorder, phobias and of course, neurodevelopmental disorders to mention a few.

In many parts of the world, traditional, complementary and alternative healers are widely sought after; some do not even consider the use of allopathic evidence-based medicine.

Allopathic ("Western") medicine considers mental illness as a chronic disorder and manages it as such. This is often not acceptable to individuals and families suffering from these mental disorders because they want a cure as opposed to care.

In this article, I share one of my recent presentations. I also explored some of the common mental health disorders as well as the possible roles these heterogenous groups of alternative healers play in the management of mental illness.

I cannot even begin to count the number of times I have seen people just say "omg....just walk outside, it will be fine". Just STOP this madness. Mental Health is serious and real and if it could have been solved by "going outside", then we could have cured this long ago. Don't trust those who tell you stuff like this. While crystals, and energy work and past life trauma work really does work wonders in helping us heal, it's not the whole picture sometimes. This is meant to complement traditional medicine, which shouldn't be looked down on. Herbs and natural remedies are awesome and a blessing, I agree, but sometimes we need more and there is absolute no shame in it. Trust me that quartz will not fix internal bleeding, just like a walk outside will not "cure" your depression. If you feel you need someone to talk, get help. ⁠ Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #mentalhealthawareness #crystals #complementarymedicine #alternativemedicine #herbs #naturalremedies #yoga #newagememe #crystalreiki #stopthemadness #anxiety #newagememe #flextape #healing #metaphysical #mindfulness #wellness #chakra #healer #spirituality #mentalhealth #health #mentalillness #selflove #selfcare #mentalhealthmatters #recovery #healthy #happy #peace https://www.instagram.com/p/B1KRdaDHw8R/?igshid=1dgzq1g03x8kt

SO WHAT IS COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE? . . photo credit @lyraandatlas . Complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) are treatments that fall outside of mainstream healthcare.  They are therapies that fall beyond the scope of conventional medicine but may be used alongside it in the treatment of disease and ill health. . Personally I feel that there is a core difference between complementary medicine and alternative medicine. Complementary medicine is used holistically side by side conventional medicine, it does not seek to replace allopathic treatments. Alternative medicines and therapies are used in place of, instead of conventional treatments, for example using or trying a special diet to treat cancer rather than surgery, radiation or chemotherapy as recommended by a doctor. . (My practice, my work sits firmly in the Complementary camp! I do not aim to try and replace the amazing work done by our healthcare professionals). . Examples of Complementary Medicine and Holistic Therapies are: . Aromatherapy Chiropractic Medicine Herbalism Crystal Therapy Reiki Hypnotherapy Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Mindfulness Acupuncture Nutritional Therapy Yoga Reiki Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) . Within the NHS some of these therapies are now available for example Aromatherapy during labour, Mindfulness for chronic pain, Reiki in palliative care. However more often than not you will have to pay privately to see a therapist. . My vision, my dream, would be to see more cohesion between complementary medicine and conventional medicine. I believe that the two should work hand in hand and support each other. . #complementarytherapies #alternativemedicine #savethenhs #lovethenhs #conventionalmedicine #complementarymedicine #naturaltherapies #holistictherapies #massage #meditation #aromatherapy #herbalism #functionalmedicine #naturalmedicine #wellness #health #holistichealth #naturalremedies #holistic #naturalhealing #healthandwellbeing #mentalhealth #chronicpainsucks #chronicpain #essentialoils #healthy #herbalmedicine #medicine #healthylifestyle #discoverunder1k https://www.instagram.com/p/B6_XtK1AV_G/?igshid=c570zcmc0n7a

The main difference between traditional medicine and alternative medicine is the approach. Whereas traditional medicine treats symptoms and problems of a certain given area, alternative medicine focuses on cause and prevention, overall health, and uses a range of non-traditional, and natural treatments. At Natural-light we offer complementary and alternative medicine called “CAM” for short. Both alternative and complementary medicine use the same kinds of remedies to treat conditions. The difference is that alternative medicine is often used instead of conventional medical techniques and complementary works along side your current medical requirements.

There are up to 150 different species of basil around the world today. . H I S T O R Y This plant receives its name from the Latin word basilius as well as the Greek word basilikón phutón, which mean ‘royal plant’. In Judaism, traditional stories advocate the use of basil for increased strength during times of fasting. In various Orthodox churches, basil is often used to either sprinkle or prepare holy water. In some places around the world, basil has come to represent good fortune. In Mexico, bunches of basil are sometimes hung in shop doorways or windows, as the growth of the herb is believed to reflect the success of the business.
