Greetings!

Natural healing therapies have been used since the beginning of humankind's need for medicine, probably with first humans. Different therapies evolved in various parts of the world and were carried as humans travelled. The blend of East and West happened in a larger than life way in the 20th century because of technology and evolving globalization. The largest rise in popularity of natural, non-traditional medicine started in the West in the past 40 to 50 years. It's only been in the past 20 years that many of the so-called alternative therapies have been proven scientifically and are now used in conventional medical facilities. Acupuncture, aromatherapy, massage and other kinds of body and energy work are examples of many hospitals' complementary therapies--used for pain management, palliative care, and stress relief. Essential Wellness began its print newspaper 20 years ago to bring information and education about healing therapies and spirituality to our local market and to share resources because of a lack of a central go-to source. Wellness and healing therapies are now very much part of the mainstream but we continue to share resources you may not have been aware of. Thank you for travelling this "silk road of medicine" with us!

Deep Healing with Flower Essences, an article by Cindy Cummings
When I started using flower essences, I always had a shock and trauma blend on hand like Trillium Botanicals Stress Ease. If a bird hit our window and couldn't fly away, I would run out and place a drop on its beak. It usually recovered and flew away, making me happy, but I was never really sure if I helped or if it just needed a minute to shake off the crash.

Then one day, one of my dogs thought that a porcupine was a chew toy and he got quills in his nose, snout, and going all the way through his tongue. He was writhing on the ground trying to rub away the quills which, of course, only pushed them in farther. By the time I reached him, his eyes were wild with pain. I got him to the house, but his eyes started glazing over with pain.  READ MORE>>

Sacrowedgy helps with sciatica, back, hip, & knee pain & poor posture
sacro wedgy
All of these symptoms and more could be the result of a simple muscle imbalance. My Father invented a device called the Sacro Wedgy® that has been helping all of us as well as a multitude of sufferers for over 20 years. The concept is anatomically sound in that the "keystone" of our anatomy - the sacrum - is held neutral by the Sacro Wedgy® and gravity does the rest. For years this now retired football coach would get his athlete on the training table and hold their sacrum as suggested by an osteopath. After about 20 minutes he could feel muscles that were fighting and resisting finally subside.  READ MORE>>
