Just finished a paper on holistic methods for chronic migraines

In my English course we had to do a research paper on something . I’m really interested in alternative medicine vs. allopathic medication (what we use here). I found some super cool stuff – it can also help depression.

Aromatherapy – different aromas can alter your mood . I actually tried this and bought different essential oils and smelled them . I could see a change . You can even put the oil on your skin , behind your neck and on your wrists . It some how changes your mood . Super cool

Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)- needle therapy/massage therapy .
With acupuncture, they think that if one part of your body is in pain , then it is derived from some where else on your body that’s not functioning right . So they map out the body in meridians and put needles in it . This could help depression too. It relieves stress . It’s actually really interesting how it works.

Chiropractic therapy (spinal manipulation)- in this doctors adjust your back/body so it will relieve tension on your spine . My friend actually did this and she could sleep better, felt more awake, happier . This is like TCM because it also shows the idea that if your back isn’t adjusted , then your overall wellness diminishes .

Herb therapy- this was the most interesting one I wrote about . Certain herbs can help with depression . One is feverfew . It looks like a daisy . I don’t really know how it helps though. There isn’t really a true reason why. I honestly believe that the earth has so much to offer us . And we should use it instead of popping man made synthetic shit . And these remidies don’t come with all the side effects that western medicine comes with .

I just thought I should share some of these cool things I found . I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m all over the place . My paper sounds a lot better . Lol
