(16) Hire a holistic athletic trainer

Consider working with a holistic athletic trainer. If you are an athlete, you might benefit from the experience of working with a holistic trainer who focuses not only on injury recovery, but also on performance analysis, counseling and injury prevention. Through the holistic approach, your mental and physical needs will be addressed and you can improve your performance significantly as a result.

(17) Try hypnosis to find answers

Although there are many different schools of hypnotherapy over the years, they all center around the idea that in an altered states of consciousness you can find and resolve issues within yourself that you were not able to realize in your conscious state. The main goal of hypnosis then is to provide a short-term therapeutic process that can help the patient confront these issues that they were unable to face in their conscious mind. Then they can begin to find permanent solutions to the problems that they are facing.

(18) Get lasting allergy relief

If you are an allergy suffer, you already know the frustration you get from medications that just don’t work. Sure, they may mask symptoms temporily, but they are not going to provide you any lasting relief. Homeopathic allergy treatment is different. Instead of treating the symptoms, the goal is to strengthen the body to a point where it can resist the allergens that are causing the symptoms. While there are treatments available for the symptoms, a patient can expect to be given medications to strengthen the immune system and create a natural defense.

(19) Perform the healing power of love

Love conquers all. Many holistic practitioners believe that there is no more powerful medicine than love and that simply giving or receiving affection such as a hug can raise the spirits and begin to heal the body. If you are suffering from grief of any sort, love may be all you need to start the healing.

(20) An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Try to eliminate the things that cause you health problems, instead of trying to treat the symptoms. For example, if you are suffering from indigestion it makes more sense to eliminate the foods that are causing the problem than it does to take antacids after the pain starts. Holistic healers are looking to heal the whole body, and therefore it is believed that your first first step is to eliminate the things that are causing you harm. Next, you replace those things with nutrients, etc. that are better for you. This can apply to the body, as well as the mind and the soul.

(21) Try using sulfur for acne relief

For many teens that suffer from acne, it might be worth trying a sulfur based cream especially formulated to work on skin lesions. Sulfur is a naturally occurring substance in the body, and therefore it is completely safe. There are a number of conditions that can be helped by sulfur, in addition to acne. These include liver damage, shortness of breath, pink eye and lactose intolerance.

(22) Treat your skin with Jojoba oil

Jojoba oil supplements are great for your skin and hair. This oil is known for rejuvenation of the skin as well as repairing hair and scalp problems. Consider using a shampoo or body wash that contains the oil in order to have healthier skin and hair.

(23) Listen to your dreams to resolve inner conflicts

Dreams can tell you a lot of information that you might not otherwise realize. Therapists believe that through our dreams, we become aware of personal struggles, fears and internal conflicts. Consider keeping a dream journal, where you record at least the major themes of what you are dreaming. Do this as soon as you can after waking, so that you make sure to get the essence of your dreams. Pay attention to patterns, serial dreams and symbols that seem to reappear often. Find out what these things represent to you by meditating on the symbol or theme, or look them up in a dream dictionary for the generally accepted explanation. While this may not represent the meaning for you, it will give you a place to start.

(24) Improve your diet for a healthier skin

Ask any Holistic specialist who deals with dermatological problems, and he will tell you that most skin problems are related to the foods you eat; and the quality and amount of nutrients that you take into your system. He will also point at food based toxins that seem to be keeping your skin from functioning effectively. Considering that the liver is responsible for filtering most toxins out of the body, one possible treatment that might be suggested is liver detoxification.

(25) Avoid foods with supplements

Holistic nutritionists do not recommend supplements for the sake of adding more nutrients. You should try to obtain the nutrients you need through the foods that naturally contain them. And, if you require supplements, you are far better off just taking supplements. One nutrient that seems to be added to everything these days is calcium. The amount of calcium being added to products like orange juice is so minimal that it really will not help you to overcome a deficiency.

(26) Increase your water intake

Most people will honestly tell you they don't drink nearly enough water. In fact, they have no idea of the amount of water they drink throughout the course of a day. You should be drinking half of your body weight in ounces of water each day. And, this should not include beverages. In order for your body to function at its best, you need to make sure that you are drinking enough. Dehydration can occur when you are not getting enough water in your body, and there are many dangerous and bothersome side effects.

(27) Improve on what you eat

Many people believe that they are following a sound nutritional plan with the diet plans they are on. These same people often do not include fruits and vegetables with every meal. And they often eat meals on the go without giving it a second thought. If you want your body to perform at high-efficiency, you must provide it with high-efficiency foods. This means more whole, raw foods and as few preservatives as possible.

(28) Add more vitamin B to your diet

Foods rich in the B vitamins and B supplements are thought to be some of the most beneficial and are even used to treat respiratory problems including asthma. Foods like brown rice, baked potatoes and fish contain vitamin B. Try adding more to your diet today.

(29) Try using ginger for joint pains

If you experience joint pain or stiffness, you might benefit from ginger caplets, or simply more ginger in your diet. Ginger is an antioxidant that is known to assist the body in preserving cartilage. You can find ginger supplements in any health food store.

(30) Manage stress naturally

Anxiety disorder is one of the most commonly treated medical conditions in the world today. Thankfully, nature provides us with natural stress relievers like passion flower, lemon balm, lavender and valerian, to name a few. Also try essential oils, teas and other forms of extracts for their effectiveness for your anxiety and stress levels.
