How Will You Stay In Touch?

September is National Emergency Preparedness Month. For more information, visit ready.gov .

In our ultra-in-touch world of texts, Facebook messages and emails (among other things), it seems unfathomable that there might come a time when we cannot contact our loved ones. After Hurricane Katrina when friends and families were split up and evacuated to separate locations, reuniting was a major issue.   Recent natural disasters including an earthquake and a hurricane severely limited my communications with loved ones in Virginia. Cell phone systems were overwhelmed, with no power cell phones and laptops went uncharged and phone dependent on electricity didn’t work.  Luckily I was able to communicate with my loved ones and make sure they were okay but what if I couldn’t contact them.

Do you believe in Holistic Medicine? Aromatherapy?

Holistic Medicine is defined as the art and science of treating the whole body rather than treating conditions and symptoms. I personally had to venture down this path many years ago when I developed carpal tunnel. It was a dark period in my life but I managed the pain with traditional medicine and then tried acupuncture. What I found comforting was the fact that the Acupuncturist took an entire 2 hours with me to determine the best course of treatment. I felt that this had to be the way instead of traditional procedures for pain management. I soon began to heal and because of this my entire lifestyle changed.

Opening up different possibilities, I thought..hmmm~ if it worked so well for my pain what about my moods? I am a firm believer that one scent can make your day or relax you just before bed. Enter in~ Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is also a part of holistic medicine which is defined as the practice of applying the healing benefits of essential oils.
