Finding A Portland OR Natural Healer


By Roger Gray


People who are looking for healing often will try anything, but that doesn't mean that traditional methods - those used before the advent of antibiotics, surgery, and other modern medical procedures - can't be effective. They are also often safer than conventional medicine. There are many reasons why someone who is ill could benefit from finding a reputable Portland OR natural healer.

If a person has a diagnosis of an illness, or suffers from conditions like chronic pain or depression, there is time to try natural means in addressing the problem. If one alternative therapy does not work, try another. There are practitioners skilled in acupressure and acupuncture, herbal extracts, homeopathy, aromatherapy, and kinesiology (allergy testing.) Find specialists or general practitioners in natural methods in your local phone directory or online.

Most alternative healing protocols are considered safe. Many of them have been used for centuries, and modern research is showing that their effectiveness can rival that of conventional medicine. While chemotherapy, radiology, and surgery can offer hope, there are other methods that could be tried first. Natural remedies often have few if any long-term effects. People all over the world depend on herbal extracts, homeopathy, and other alternative methods.

The natural healer will assess each patient, because there are no 'one size fits all' programs. However, there is a wide body of knowledge to draw from: which herbs are good for certain conditions, which homeopathic remedy is indicated, which disorders are helped by acupuncture or massage therapy. Mental health is one area where there is a variety of helpful things to try, without the possibility of the addiction or acute reactions that can happen with pharmaceutical drugs.

The flower remedies are great for emotional imbalances in adults or children. These are harmless remedies to help everything from mild anxiety to deep depression. The 'wrong' remedy will not have any effect, while the 'right' one can seem miraculous. This branch of homeopathy works on the emotional level and, like the rest of this science, is regulated by the FDA.

The research and clinical studies of mental and emotional response to isolated amino acids are fascinating. Rather than starting or continuing with mind-altering drugs, people who suffer from depression, anxiety, or more serious disorders might benefit from targeted use of single amino acids. There are many therapists who are trained in this approach for those with serious disorders, while those with recent, milder problems could try some of the more thoroughly tested supplements.

Practitioners also see vitamins and minerals as a first-response approach that can restore health. Vitamin C is known to shorten the duration of colds and viruses, and it is also a potent diuretic. Used as an immune system booster, it may also be helping vision, clearing skin, keeping wrinkles at bay, and alleviating back pain. Since the body is a complex system of interwoven metabolic processes, a natural substance that helps one condition can help others as well.

Natural healers Portland OR way have a wide variety of things to try when your health has been compromised. Check out the time-tested methods of using medicinal plants, supplements, massage, acupuncture and pressure, and food sensitivity testing to see if you can be healthier and happier.
