Essential oils come from plants. They have been used for thousands of years to help with many symptoms. Essential oils are applied to a cotton ball and breathed in.

Healing touch
Healing Touch uses gentle touch to balance your body, mind, spirit and emotions. It works with your energy field to support your natural ability to heal. Healing Touch may relieve stress, anxiety, depression, pain, nausea and problems sleeping. The Healing Touch practitioner may gently touch your body or will hold his or her hands slightly over and above your body. You can receive this therapy while in a hospital bed, lying on a massage table or sitting in a chair fully clothed. Treatment times vary from 30 to 60 minutes.

Massage therapy

Others use it to relieve pain, release tight muscles, improve blood flow, increase range of motion and strengthen the immune system. The therapist will choose different massage techniques to address and treat each person's needs.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a calming and relaxing therapy that applies pressure to points on the hands or feet that correspond to other areas of the body to improve the flow of energy, relieve pain and promote balance within the body.
