Now, if we had a broken leg, we would be big, big fans of traditional, conventional healing. Some things do require the help of professionals, medicine and science. But, if your ailment is somewhat more along the lines of general malaise or ennui, then perhaps it's time to consider alternative therapies. These therapies have gotten a bad name over the years, perhaps largely down to their being branded as 'alternative', but without due cause. The phrase 'crystal healing' may conjure up images in your head of an elderly woman bent over a crystal ball, adorned in many bangles and capes. Yet, these practices have been enduring popular for centuries - and with good reason.
Whether it's crystal healing, or Ayuverda, or aromatherapy, holistic healing has the power to bring unity between mind, body and soul in a way your GP probably can't. If you're feeling stressed, sick with sadness or tired beyond belief but still can't sleep, alternative healing may be for you. In this week's Grazia, we examine new and exciting therapies and healing solutions to help you find inner peace - be sure to pick up a copy to learn how you too can tap into your chakras and discover some zen.
