Welcome back to another episode of Chu this
3 65,
your daily bite of wisdom and wellness.
I am Tan your guide on this journey.
And today, we're gonna be diving into the
world of holistic healing by exploring various alternative
therapies.
So come on and friends, get close and
comfortable in our cozy part of the internet.
I always refer to as our podcast home.
Where you know the pot of tea is
on and hot, and our topic of discussions
are warm and insightful.
So as you kindly take some time to
pause and spend a few moments with me
today. I am gonna ask that you have
your soothing cup of herbal tea at hand.
Because now I'm gonna ask that we turn
our attention to ponder on the question for
today, which is what is 1 alternative therapy
you can explore today to enhance your physical,
emotional and spiritual health. So just take a
moment to reflect on this question,
consider how incorporating
alternative therapies
into your routine can transform your well being.
We're gonna explore this topic together, to see
just how we can achieve holistic healing through
alternative therapies.
Alright. With that, we're gonna go into our
3 word quote for today, I just wanna
set the tone for today's exploration of holistic
healing with these 3 simple yet powerful words,
heal holistically daily. I'm asking that you just
let these 3 words, be a gentle reminder
to embrace the integration of alternative therapies into
your wellness routine. With that, my wonderful amazing
listeners, we're gonna go into our topic holistic
healing,
integrating alternative therapies.
Alright. For 1, when we're discussing how these
p is like
aroma therapy and reflex,
can complement
traditional medicine
to enhance overall well being I hope that
you have found a comfortable spot because now
we're gonna go ahead and explore how these
alternative therapies can be integrated into your wellness
routine.
Now let's take a moment just to understand
what I'm speaking of when I speak of
holistic healing and alternative therapies.
Holistic healing focuses on treating the whole person,
mind, body, and spirit rather than just addressing
symptoms.
Alternative therapies such as,
aroma therapy and reflex
have been used for centuries to promote balance
and well being.
When it comes to
overall health, as I do focus on the
mouth,
treating teeth and enhancing beautiful smiles, throughout my
day as a general dentist. I like to
take a holistic approach, and I know that
integrating alternative therapies is essential for overall wellness.
Not just the oral health.
Practices like ac and aroma therapy, they do
reduce stress, and we know that when we
have that increase of stress,
It causes us to turn to foods such
as increased suites and carbohydrates
that play a role on our teeth causing
cavities.
It also
stress when I speak of stress can also
cause us to engage in bad habits such
as nail biting cl, grinding
that does have a negative impact on our
teeth, such as crack syndrome,
fracturing teeth that require root canal, sometimes even
extraction,
So this is what we wanna do reduce
that stress because it's a domino effect on
our oral health as well as our overall
hill.
So those practices that I just mentioned
and aroma therapy or reflex,
they promote
relaxation, which reduces the stress and that helps
to prevent those issues that I talked about
grinding
and nail biting or just a bad dietary
habit or even the stress which causes you
to neglect your home care, and then we
start looking at gum disease, gin,
peri disease.
So
additionally, I wanna add, the balance and well
be fostered by these therapies
encourage healthier lifestyle choices.
And that's what I was speaking of about
your consistent or hygiene routines.
Just by integrating alternative therapies into your routine,
you can support your mental emotional and physical
well being, which ensures a holistic approach to
your health,
emphasizing holistic healing. Leads to a healthier, happier
you inside and out. I do have a
beautiful
insightful resource on this topic, the book that
I'm presenting to you today is the web
has no weaver,
understanding Chinese medicine by Ted Cap.
I chose this book because it provides a
comprehensive look at the principles of Chinese medicine,
including ac
and herbal remedies.
Offering a deeper understanding of holistic approaches to
health. Just by learning about these alternative therapies,
we can see how they complement traditional medicine
and contribute to our overall wellness.
Now I do have the summary for this
book, I'm gonna post after I post this
episode I'm gonna go to the blog section
of tanzania davis dot com, and I am
going to leave the summary of this book
or it's a beautiful book. If you get
a chance to read it, please do. If
not, check out the summary Okay. I'm try
to be as detailed as I can. With
the summaries I give just so you can
have the insight,
and the resource behind each episode if you
don't have time to read the book or
listen to it on audible,
Again, go to tanzania at davis dot com
and check out the blog section, the summary
of the book will be up there. The
title again, the web, that has no weaver
understanding Chinese medicine.
The author of this beautiful book is Ted
Cap chuck. So,
please check that out. Now, I want to
explore some popular alternative therapies and their benefits,
number 1 acc.
So agriculture is an Ancient Chinese practice that
involves inserting thin needles into specific points on
the body to balance energy flow. The benefits,
it can help relieve pain, reduce stress, improve
your sleep, and support your overall health.
How does it work?
Ac
stimulates the body's natural healing processes
by promoting the flow of chi,
which is energy through Meridian.
So I just was speaking to a patient
today. She has been suffering with Tmj
symptoms for many years. And I did ask,
Her, I have you tried Ac, and she
said says, yes. I just tried it, and
the symptoms were alleviate
for at least a week, I told that
she must continue to cons... To see
consistent and long term benefits of that. But
I chose this topic today because I was
thinking of her, and we have been dealing
with this Tmj. This severe issue, and so
that's that
We've also tried aroma therapy and a lot
of my patients have tried that. The use
of essential oils extracted from plants to promote
physical and emotional well being. The benefits of
aroma therapy, it can reduce anxiety,
improve your mood, enhance sleep, and alleviate symptoms
of various
conditions.
And how it works. Essential oils are inhaled
or applied to the skin,
stimulating
the limbic system.
And influencing
emotions and physical health.
Then we have reflex, which is 1 of
my favorite Oh, my goodness. I go into
the mall to the special place I love
to go in and I'll ask for a
reflex and literally will sit there for 90
minutes while they just work on my feet.
Reflex all on my feet.
Reflex,
the description of that, a therapy that involves
applying pressure to specific points on the feet
hands or ears, which correspond to different body
organs and symptoms.
The benefits,
it can reduce stress, improve circulation, and support
overall health.
And how it works, reflect physiology stimulates nerve
endings and promotes the body's natural healing processes
by improving energy flow. I usually target my
feet because I'm always on my feet every
day as I treat patients. So, man, that's
my go to reflex all. So I had
to put that in there for you. Just
by incorporating these alternative therapies into your wellness
routine. You can experience a more balanced and
holistic approach to help. So feel free to
check 1, if not all 3 of those
out. There are others, but those are just
the top 3, I wanted to share with
you today.
Now,
when we're looking at complementing
traditional medicine,
alt Alternative therapies are not meant to replace
traditional medicine, but to complement it. So here's
how you can integrate these therapies into your
overall health care plan.
1 consult with your health care providers. I
have to put that as number 1. Please
discuss any alternative therapies you're considering with your
health care providers.
To ensure that they are safe and appropriate
for your health condition.
And then number 2, once you do get
the okay the thumbs up please start gradually,
introduce 1 therapy at a time and observe
how your body responds,
and then 3,
combine approaches,
use alternative therapies in conjunction with your traditional
treatments for a comprehensive
approach to health.
And then number 4, focus on prevention.
Alternative therapies often emphasize prevention and maintaining balance
which can support long term health. So I
wanna focus on that. I wanna emphasize that
focus on the prevention. We wanna... Treat and
get to a point where we're healthy, not
wait till we have a disease and then
start to try to get on top of
it at that time. We wanna meet it
before
we can ever experience any of those diseases.
Now 5, listen to your body, pay attention
to how you feel and adjust your practice
is as needed to achieve optimal well being.
So by combining traditional medicine with alternative therapies,
I'm stressing that we're not to negate the
traditional medicine, we do need it. So combining
traditional medicine with alternative therapies
you can create a more holistic and personalized
approach to your health.
Alright. So now my amazing listeners, please don't
