Natural & complementary therapies

Hi BC friends

I love natural therapies. Complementary therapies. 
not the weird & whacky ‘cures’ that are out there, but those that support my body & soul through this journey with cancer. 
even food as medicine. 
alongside the treatment that is suggested by Drs.

anyone else interested in this kind of thing? 🌿

      Thanksiserbrown​ !

      I’m in Blue Mts NSW & we have a wellness centre here. Reflexology sounds perfect 🦶 thanks ! 

  • Hi Ann58​, My treating oncologist and hospital support some alternative therapy such as reflexology, reiki and indian head massage. They also offer yoga, tai chi and art therapy. I attend this at the Wesley Hospital Choices program.

      I hope your treatment is not too taxing!

      Thankyouiserbrown​ 

      i really was just interested if others were interested in complimentary therapies as a whole. 
      even things like sound healing, meditation etc that help the body to heal while going through treatments. 

      I’m a herbalist so very, very conscious of contraindications with any other therapies that Drs suggest.
