Natural Healing Powers
Posted by on Sep 1, 2010
Practicing two very different forms of treatment massage, Traditional Chinese Massage and Physical Therapy plus Oriental Aromatherapy Massage and Bodywork, has been a satisfying and most rewarding occupation.
With over 25 years experience in the health profession (including over 15 years as a registered nurse) and having studied both conventional medicine and a combination of both Eastern and Western medicine, I have found that my preference lies in the latter. This is not because I am anti conventional medicine but because I have experienced the “vis medicatrix naturae” (the healing force of nature) as being much more effective.
Activating, releasing and unmasking the body’s own natural healing power is far more clinically efficacious. This system of both prevention and healing through Traditional Chinese Massage techniques (no oil required) treats every clinical situation as fundamentally a stress problem and has the deliberate intention of realigning and reintegrating the body’s own natural healing resources in a unique and powerful way. By approaching each person as an individual with unique requirements, a specific massage can be customized and powerfully effective through acupressure, soft tissue mobilization as well as gentle holistic techniques for acute or chronic ailments such as frozen shoulder, wry neck, and even sprained ankles.
Each massage is approached with a global mind-set based on an understanding of the interactive relationships between different parts of the body and the way in which they each contribute to the whole being’s response to the demands placed upon it. Having this approach facilitates two entirely different therapeutic strategies – firstly, reducing the stress load on the patient’s body by removing harmful environmental stimuli and/or strengthening the body against future encroachment, secondly, increasing the resources of the patient – by making the whole body and its functions and processes more physiologically efficient.
In comparison the approach of Oriental Aromatherapy is such that essential oils are chosen from an energetic perspective rather than choosing them according to different ailments. The essential oils are blended in a cold pressed carrier oil such as sweet almond or a blend of nourishing oils. When oils are chosen according to the imbalance of the five elements – fire, earth, water, metal and wood the combined oils are indicated for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalance. Each essential oil has a yin or yang quality such as cooling or warming energy, drying for dampness; stimulating, cleansing energy for congestion or a gentle moving action for stuck energy.
Once again understanding the interactive relationships between different parts of the whole being and having determined this through a variety of diagnostic techniques the essential oils are chosen and blended accordingly. From this approach the style of Aromatherapy massage is then perfected including gentle acupressure, soft tissue mobilization, rocking and subtle cranial therapy. The outcome of generating a synergistically woven massage style is the inner harmony that allows natural healing to occur!
In the 18 years that I have been practicing, many sceptics have been converted and nine out of ten people continue to fall asleep by the end of a massage; much to their surprise. Not only do they feel more relaxed and in tune but they have an inner calmness beyond words.

Some of the many healing arts programs that are available to the public include teachings in Qi gong, introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupressure/Shiatsu, Tai Chi, herbal remedies, and aromatherapy, among several others. While many of these courses are geared toward self-healing, there are a number of healing arts programs like these, which result in a certificate or diploma of completion.

A person can also use acupuncture which was devised by the Chinese. This uses pressure points on certain energy spots on the body that can unblock areas that may be causing certain illnesses or aches and pains. There are also certain spots that you can tap on yourself along with telling yourself that the pain or sickness actually is caused from something that may have happened to you in your childhood that now brings on illnesses or pain to your body. The tapping will help release the emotions that brought on your illness.
Artichokes have a compound in them called cynarin.
