People think that natural health care is about ignoring medical science, but it's actually about strengthening your bodies natural defenses so you can heal yourself. Natural health practioners work on alternate therapy like massage and relaxation, and on using the food we eat as medicine for our bodies and souls. Our bodies are amazingly well designed and can heal most issues if we just give them the opportunity. Unfortunately much of the time the modern lifestyle emphasises fast processed food and a fast paced lifestyle that stresses us out and drains us of our strength. This site has my tips for getting your life balanced again and making your body stronger in every way.

How Kinesiology Can Help You Conceive
Gene Carroll
If you're struggling to get pregnant, you may be feeling desperate and emotionally exhausted. Alternative therapies are becoming a popular choice for those suffering with fertility problems to help relieve stress and increase the chances of conception. Kinesiology is one of these therapies, but how can it help?
What is kinesiology?
Kinesiology is an alternative therapy which uses muscle monitoring to correct hormonal imbalances in the body. This makes the body stronger and healthier. The treatment dates back to Ancient China and is connected to acupuncture.
During treatment, your kinesiologist may use any of the following techniques:
- Acupressure – this is similar to acupuncture but pressure is applied to specific areas rather than needles being inserted.
- Massages – paying particular attention to pressure points.
They will also be able to give you nutritional advice to help boost your moods and health. Please remember that kinesiology is a complementary therapy and so should be used alongside medical treatment rather than instead of it. Speak to your doctor to rule out simple problems before considering kinesiology.
How can it boost your fertility?
Ovulation, conception and developing an environment in your body for a foetus to grow are complicated procedures governed by a variety of hormones. If those hormones are out just by a little, the whole process can be messed up, resulting in month after month of negative pregnancy tests.
The hormones required for successful conception include:
- Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This is released from the pituitary gland in the brain and tells the ovaries to grow follicles. Inside these follicles are eggs, one of which will mature each month and burst from the follicle during ovulation. This hormone also thickens the uterine wall to allow a fertilised egg to attach and grow.
- Luteinising hormone (LH). Also released by the pituitary gland, this hormone works with FSH and tells the follicle to burst, springing the mature egg forward ready to be fertilised.
- Oestrogen. This hormone rises at the beginning of your cycle and tells your pituitary gland when to release the LH and start ovulation. If your body isn't producing enough oestrogen, then you may not ovulate.
- Progesterone. This hormone is required to allow the fertilised egg to start growing. It is when the levels of progesterone drops that your period starts. If you are lacking in progesterone, your body will be unable to support the baby.
In some particularly sensitive people, the stress hormones, cortisol and epinephrine, can override and imbalance these fertility hormones by telling your brain that it isn't safe to get pregnant. This can result in a failure to ovulation, releasing immature eggs or creating an inhospitable environment for a baby to grow.
As kinesiology works on restoring your emotional and physical wellbeing, including relaxation techniques, it can allow your body to naturally correct the level of hormones. This creates a good environment in your body for growing a baby and will help you to conceive.
