A few days ago I was wishing for a thread like this and poof it appears!

Thanks for reading my mind!

I work with people around holistic nutrition and have been using alternative therapies all of my life.

Great thread.

I will be back when I am not so tired.

I use Magnesium for Migraine prevention however I am of the believe of combining holistic with western meds and most of what I concentrate on is energy or for lack of a better word mind work.

I use a lot of guided imagery for anxiety and stress relief. Not just meditation because I find that does not work for me but actual guided imagery. Either to a recorded cd and someone else is guiding it or I can actually do it Myself.

I also use muscle relaxation technique to help with pain and to help put me to sleep but my insomnia gets so bad that does not always work.

No problem, Sun. *laughs*

I do energy work myself. The first time I ever had a Reiki healing, I knew I wanted to be trained. I was attuned to Reiki level I a few years ago and plan on getting my second attunement next weekend. I'm very excited! I want to be more than just a "cyberhealer", giving people health advice on my blog. I want to really be a hands-on healer who helps others. It's what I've wanted to do for a very long time.

Energy work is very powerful. I'm amazed at how many other people are into it when you ask them. It's just not something many people just up and start talking about for fear of ridicule and rejection unfortunately. Imagine that? A society where people have to hide their desire to make the world a better place.

I love this thread!

I'm trying to help my aunt with her thyroid issues right now, and one article I read said that drinking tea with fresh thyme improves thyroid function.

Does anyone know if that's true?

If anyone knows of any herbs that are good for the thyroid, please let me know. <3

Hi Ardent. I'm posting this link to a functional Medicine Doctor who is really well known for her approach to all things auto-immune and thyroid. Her web site has a lot of free videos events etc. Lots of helping info
