Healing Powers Within Your Reach
But don’t misunderstand this remedy to be a silver bullet; even Dr. McGhee says you should use it in conjunction with your medical professional’s instructions.
Animals
Man’s (and woman’s) best friend has continuously proven to do more than keep us company. Aside from the profound stories of animals finding their way home from hundreds of miles away or the incredible ability of some to sense death, seizures, or illness, we know that the unconditional love of animals can provide healing effects, too. They’re credited most with lowering stress levels, blood pressure, and improving cardiovascular health, and many organizations have been formed with those healing effects in mind. Therapy Dogs, Inc, for example, has a goal to bring happiness and cheer to people in need and Windrush Farm uses its horses to transform the lives of those with disabilities.
Experts are now studying whether dogs can diagnose illness such as ovarian cancer, diabetes, and others.
Touch
Humans are sensitive creatures, so it makes sense that touch and human contact are essential in the healing process. Babies who are born prematurely or with illnesses recover at much higher rates when held skin-to-skin with their mother.
We value and respect the experiences of all of our HerWriters, but everyone is different. Many of our writers are speaking from personal experience, and what's worked for them may not work for you. Their articles are not a substitute for medical advice although we hope you can gain knowledge from their insight.
