As you try to stay healthy and safe at home, there is no denying that what’s happening in the world outside can still affect you mentally and physically. Disease and disorders are being fuelled by the pandemic scare, and we can’t help but find ourselves sometimes struggling to maintain peace and harmony in our personal lives. Many of us have already been affected by the COVID-19 virus, and recovered patients are reporting increased levels of anxiety that also lead to stress, which could impact pre-existing health conditions. Even if you are lucky enough to not have had an encounter with the virus, staying indoors for such long periods and being denied a social life or physical activity can also take a toll on your health. Adopt alternative healing therapies to improve your physical and mental wellbeing. Keep in mind, however, that these practices should not be used as a replacement for modern medicine.

Acupressure
Acupressure believes that there are various invisible paths throughout the human body through which the energies yin and yang flow; diseases and ailments are caused due to an imbalance in these universal energies. Acupressure focuses on stimulating specific points on the body to help correct imbalances in the flow of life energy, and thus provides healing. In acupressure, the correct amount of pressure is applied to these vital points in the human body using the hands, elbows or specific devices to release blockages and provide healing. This form of therapy can be used to treat stress and anxiety, migraines, allergies, nausea, vomiting, pain and more.
