Find A Portland OR Natural Healer

By Roger Gray


Many conventional medical practices are 'one size fits all' prescriptions or invasive (scary) treatment protocols. In contrast, a Portland OR natural healer has many safe, effective things that people might want to try as a first response to diagnosis or disorders. Finding a reputable, trained practitioner in alternative healing makes sense.

If a person has a diagnosis of an illness, or suffers from conditions like chronic pain or depression, there is time to try natural means in addressing the problem. If one alternative therapy does not work, try another. There are practitioners skilled in acupressure and acupuncture, herbal extracts, homeopathy, aromatherapy, and kinesiology (allergy testing.) Find specialists or general practitioners in natural methods in your local phone directory or online.

Most alternative healing protocols are considered safe. Many of them have been used for centuries, and modern research is showing that their effectiveness can rival that of conventional medicine. While chemotherapy, radiology, and surgery can offer hope, there are other methods that could be tried first. Natural remedies often have few if any long-term effects. People all over the world depend on herbal extracts, homeopathy, and other alternative methods.

The maxim to 'do no harm' is followed by trained alternative practitioners. They do not want to sacrifice total health in order to alleviate symptoms of illness. Especially in the area of mental health, natural methods can be very effective without risk of addiction or of triggering destructive impulses.

Flower remedies, a branch of homeopathy that works on the emotional level, carry no risk and can be used on children as well as adults. A 'wrong' remedy does nothing, while the right one can do wonders. This means that various ones can be tried, or used in succession, until improvement is achieved.

The research on amino acids used singly to address mental and emotional health is fascinating and very convincing. Study after study shows dramatic benefits to people with debilitating problems. This therapy can be used by anyone, since aminos are sold as supplements, but those with serious problems would benefit from the experience of a trained therapist.

A holistic practitioner will use dietary changes, vitamin and mineral supplements, and lifestyle recommendations to treat the whole picture of well-being. Vitamin C is an immune system booster which fights bacteria and viruses, benefits skin and connective tissue (like spinal discs), improves vision, and works as a mild diuretic. Lack of magnesium is a common deficiency which can disrupt sleep, contribute to constipation, cause leg cramps, and more. Whether the underlying problem is poor diet, too much stress, chronic pain, or deep depression, supplements and good food choices can help.

Natural healers Portland OR way have a wide variety of things to try when your health has been compromised. Check out the time-tested methods of using medicinal plants, supplements, massage, acupuncture and pressure, and food sensitivity testing to see if you can be healthier and happier.
