What is Trauma?
Trauma is an experience that causes emotional and psychological distress. Traumatic experiences overtake a person’s ability to process emotions and thoughts in a calm manner. Distress related to a traumatic experience will reoccur in the subconscious mind and body until they are released.



Trauma occurs from single overwhelming incidents as well as experiences over time. We often associate trauma with a shocking event such as a violent crime or the sudden loss of a loved one. Such incidents are traumatic, but trauma can also result from everyday life challenges. Therefore, trauma can occur to any one person and is not something to stigmatize. Unfortunately, many people do feel shame about experiencing and talking about their past. When we feel embarrassed or unable to talk about it, it is important to acknowledge that emotion so that it does not stop you from healing. read more →

While prostatitis can be caused by infection or injury, it has been noted that some cases have nothing to do with the prostate gland at all. That is why treatments that target the prostate or assume some underlying infection are completely ineffective. For example, prostatitis treatment that targets infection will in many cases show no improvement. When this happens, and as the pain persists, both doctors and patients may be at a loss for the underlying condition.



For years, doctors were confounded by what seemed to be a very well known set of symptoms: difficulty urinating, accompanied by pain in the groin, pelvic area, and genitals, that did not respond to any treatment and revealed no obvious underlying pathology. Cases like these piled up, and along with some other diagnoses such as interstitial cystitis (also known as Painful Bladder Syndrome) there appeared to be no obvious reason for the pain and discomfort that seemed to take over the lives of those suffering. Other diagnoses seemed to be centered around the pelvic area, the bowels, and the rectum. Again, multiple diagnoses were made, but the condition did not respond at all to treatment, and no underlying cause could be found for the pain being reported by the patients. read more →

Reflexology

A refined form of natural therapy is precisely reflexology. Namely, reflexologists say the body is divided into vertical energy zones, which stretch from the base of the feet to the top of the head. Moreover, our hands and feet contain reflex points, which correspond to every part of the body. If we were to massage the right reflex point on the foot, a certain organ in our body, or a certain tissue or a gland, can be affected by that action. read more →

Ayurvedic medicine, commonly referred to as "ayurveda," is one of the world's oldest yet most enduring holistic health systems. Designed to keep the whole body system of body/mind/spirit in balance, ayurveda seeks first maintenance of good health with a secondary focus on fighting off infection and disease.



Where Ayurveda Fits Into Modern Medicine

In first world countries, ayurveda is considered one of many "complementary" or alternative health systems that can serve as a valuable adjunct to modern Westernized medicine. Ayurveda uses herbs as homeopathic remedies for everything from pain relief to disease protection.
