The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) confirms what most of us intuitively know: “our emotional state affects our health” and “many people respond well to complementary treatments…” In other words, massage, energy work, pet therapy, music (and more) just make us feel and/or cope better with what is happening. Here are some of the known benefits of complementary alternatives:
- Improve sleep
- Reduce fatigue
- Relieve stress
- Relieve anxiety
- Relieve pain
- Alleviate nausea and vomiting
- Improve focus
- Provide a sense of empowerment
