Acupuncture — I’ve had it myself — and I find it very efficient, but it’s a bit aggressive sometimes. And you find yourself well before you’re prepared to be well. Er, you don’t actually get a chance to recover. It’s quite dynamic. And I found that Shiatsu suited me better. So it’s a massage, it gives pressure along the meridians, along the health points. But it also stretches out muscles and ligaments and eases back pain and that kind of thing… It’s generally energy giving.
Modern reflexology
Well, I’m from California so I like to try everything. It’s just in my nature and my soul. I’ve had acupuncture, which I enjoyed and I thought it helped me but there’s something that is not... I didn’t find so relaxing about it… But my favorite alternative medicine that I’ve done so far or system has been reflexology where they use different points.
Basically, they use your foot but a lot of other different places in your body, on your body with using different oils and pressure points on the feet that are supposed to correspond to different organs in your body or you know, skin or everything. And that I have found incredibly beneficial. I mean, at first I found it very painful but it doesn’t hurt as much now and it really… the reason that I went, you know to go to the reflexologist in the first place, it’s actually cleared up you know that whole problem so I’ve enjoyed that a lot.
