What can alternative health practitioners offer to help lower high blood pressure? A great deal!
The world is looking to change direction to a healthier lifestyle. We are looking to bond with nature instead of working against her by caring for the planet and caring for our own health.
Eastern medicine has remained relatively the same for centuries while western medicine shifted it`s emphasis away from healing with the whole herb and healing the whole person. No longer does research look for the cause but concentrates too much on curing the symptoms.
A brief description of what each therapy involves will help you choose which may help your personal needs.
Please be aware! I have only noted particular illnesses that each therapy can help treatment options for high blood pressure. Linking to each therapist`s page, or direct contact by phone will further inform you of the full range of illnesses that can be helped.
