Reiki: An alternative Menopause Treatment
In this day and age, many people are looking towards alternative
treatments to treat what ails them. There seems to be a
consistent decline in the faith people place in the magic of
modern medicine. In many cases, the treatments prescribed by the
medical establishment for various ailments have a number of
risks associated with them. In some cases, the treatment
regimens are more difficult for the patient to deal with than
the illness itself. It is no wonder that people are looking
towards alternative treatments and therapies.
Menopause affects women from all walks of life. Doctors would
have you believe that there is something wrong with you, and
will likely prescribe a daily regimen of drugs to combat the
symptoms. The truth of the matter is quite different, however.
Menopause is not an illness. It is a naturally occurring process
associated with aging and fertility. Naturally, these changes
will have a profound affect on a woman. The ancient Japanese
practice of Reiki may provide some relief from the effects of
those changes.
The word Reiki means universal life energy, and originated in
Japan when a scholar named Mikao Usui set about to learn more
about the healing practices as mentioned in various ancient
texts. It is a non-invasive healing therapy that attempts to
balance the human energy system. This, in turn, assists the body
in the process of healing itself. The main factor in the way
menopause affects the individual is an imbalance in hormone
levels. These hormone imbalances account for many of the
symptoms of menopause including, cramps, migraines, hot flashes,
and emotional instability.
As Reiki is known to bring balance to the various systems within
the body, it has the ability to bring relief to those suffering
from the effects of Menopause. Over time, Reiki has been known
to normalize menstrual cycles, reduce migraines and cramping,
and lessen the frequency of hot flashes. Reiki has the potential
to do for you naturally, what your doctor hopes to do with
prescription drugs. It may be worth looking into. Your health
and quality of life should be the central focus of any therapy,
and Reiki may be the key to unlocking your ability to heal
yourself naturally. If you are experiencing the symptoms of
Menopause, be sure to research the many alternative therapies
available to you. Your health hangs in the balance.
