If you have a chronic headache issue, then you have an uncomfortable medical condition that may not be particularly serious. If this is the case, then you may choose to use natural remedies to soothe your aches and pains as long as your doctor believes there is no underlying cause of the problem. If you are a spiritual individual, then you may seek out natural healing approaches that utilize your own energy to help you feel better. Healing energy and spiritual beliefs are the basis for treatments that include telephone healing sessions. If you try these sessions, then also think about some other alternative remedies that use your own body's energy.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a Chinese medical technique that has been utilized for centuries to relieve pain. Traditionally, the practice is used to help divert or balance the energy that flows through your body. This energy is called your life force, chi, or qi, and acupuncturists believe that the energy can become blocked. This can cause issues, like headaches, and small needles are used to help energy flow naturally through your body. This is thought to heal you. Acupuncture needles also place pressure on the nerves and other tissues. This increases blood flow in the region to bring oxygen to the area of the body. This helps to heal tissues that may be injured. 

When you inform your acupuncture specialist that you have chronic headaches, then the professional will insert needles in different points or meridians that are associated with your ailment. A few of these points will be on the face in the middle of the forehead and along the inside corners of the eyes. These areas are called the third eye and bright light points. Areas along the temple, neck, shoulders, and feet will be explored with needles as well.

The good news is that acupuncture studies have shown positive results when it comes to treating chronic headaches. People also say that the treatment is relaxing and calming, so it is definitely worth a try if you are looking for headache pain relief. 

Reiki

Reiki is another alternative medicine technique, but it is a Japanese based treatment, instead of a Chinese one. Reiki involves the movement of energy, much like acupuncture. However, reiki deals with adding energy or chi to the body. Illnesses like headaches are believed to be the result of low life force energy, and therapists use their own chi to replenish or channel energy into your body. This is done with touch so your body can naturally heal itself once energy is restored.

When you schedule a reiki session, you may be asked about any medical ailments you may have. You should understand that some individuals will schedule reiki for relaxation and stress relief purposes, so inform your specialist that you have a specific headache concern if there is no formal intake or questionnaire completed before the treatment.

If you do inform the professional about your headaches, then light touch will be concentrated around the head. The hands will be held over the eyes as well as the crown of your head. Touch may be concentrated around the ears and back of the head too. Similar hand positions can be used if you want to self-treat with reiki at home. Envision energy moving through the hands and into your head. Also, thoughts of life energy healing your headache can help. To help with the relaxation process, essential oils may also be used. You can suggest the use of lavender or peppermint to produce a calm sensation when receiving reiki treatments or you can use the oils at home when you self-treat.

Healing with the use of alternative energy-based treatments can help to solve your chronic headache issues. If you want to learn more, then speak with a natural healing specialist like Antonios Healing Hands or to an individual who offers telephone healing sessions.
