In association with Costa Cálida International Radio and www.angloINFO.com by Drew Ryder Hello and welcome to a new column here in the Costa Calida Chronicle. In this column I shall be looking at different `alternative or complementary therapies´, with the object of making them easier to understand and why they could be of great benefi t to you. Firstly I would like to explain that calling these therapies `alternative´ or `complementary´ can be argued as misrepresentation. To explain; orthodox, or modern medicine as it is known, has its roots in these therapies, and whereas alternative or complementary therapies have their roots steeped in history and traditional folklore spanning every culture and country, (for example, refl exology goes back to 2500-2330 B.C. to Egyptian times with a pictographic evidence in the tomb of Ankmahor at Saqqara), modern medicine does not. Rather, it has evolved as a science and has become somewhat mechanical, looking at life as purely a chemical phenomenon. The human body has become to be regarded as a machine made up of a complex collection of parts. Whilst noone can deny that modern medicine and the modern technology that accompanies it has many benefi ts, it comes at a price. That is to say, the human element is often lost. The human body is far more than just a collection of working parts; it is a highly sophisticated organism instilled with the essential dimensions of body, mind and spirit. Most modern doctors are not always trained to recognize problems beyond the physical, whereas most therapists recognise that physical imbalance seldom occurs in isolation. Page 4 This raises the question, “What then is the answer?” Simply put, the answer is to use ‘alternative or complementary’ therapies in conjunction with modern science and medicine. Alternative and complementary therapies are safe, natural forms of treatment and as the aim with both alternative and orthodox medicine is to cure disease and be of assistance to the human race, the most positive prognosis would be that both recognise their place in health care and to work together for the benefi t of all. To quote a World health Organisation’s report: “For too long, traditional systems of medicine and `modern´ medicine have gone their separate ways in mutual antipathy. Yet are their goals not identical – to improve the health of mankind and thereby the quality of life? Only the blinkered mind would assume that each has nothing to do with the other.” On that note I would like to introduce you to Refl exology. Refl exology is a gentle art; a fascinating science and an extremely effective form of therapeutic foot massage. Not to be confused with basic foot massage, refl exology uses a specifi c pressure technique that works on precise points on the feet know as refl ex points. The feet represent a microcosm of the body; that is to say, they mirror the body and the workings of the body. This means that the whole of the body can be accessed. For example, the skeletal system, glands and organs etc., and Refl exology is therefore a non-invasive therapy. The body’s own healing potential is phenomenal; using a fi rm pressure that is applied to relevant refl ex areas using both fi nger and thumb techniques, physiological changes take place within the body stimulating this potential. The simplicity of Refl exology belies its effectiveness. Refl exology does not discriminate; there are no boundaries or limitations. People of any age, whether old or young, can obtain very positive benefi ts through Refl exology treatments. For example, older people with stiff joints and circulatory problems can benefi t greatly. Indeed, older people with no specifi c complaint can benefi t from a couple of courses of treatment per year to keep bodily functions toned and in good shape. It is a safe and effective treatment for all ages and ailments and works well alongside modern medicine. Refl exology can be used for a number of symptoms such as constant headaches, sinusitis, joint pain, moods swings, fatigue, stress, and constipation to name but a few. In next month’s article I shall explain how it works.
