Wellness – The Brain and The Nervous System

Posted on by St. Michael & Company
 WELLNESS- BRAIN AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. Feeling happy begins when we are centered and balanced. It all begins in the brain, the human body’s communication network – the nervous system, and our neurotransmitters and hormone production.
Neurotransmitters are classified as excitatory or inhibitory, which help regulate our moods, appetite, and sleep-wake cycle. Examples of neurotransmitters are serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, and acetylcholine.
Research shows that proper care, adequate rest, and a healthy diet can enhance the functions of the Nervous System. Traditional medicine also believes that green leafy vegetables and fruits, traditional herbs such as Ginseng tea, and other essential oils can help achieve a healthy mind and body.

The Central Nervous System, our brain, the spinal cord, and the nerves connect to the rest of our body.

Here are different massages and modalities to help the Central Nervous System:

Shirodara

 

Shirodhara is the infusion of oil poured onto the head and scalp, which produces a soothing and calming sensation on the muscles of the head, which in turn passes via the superficial peripheral nerves of the forehead to the brain.

 

Craniosacral is an alternative modality intended to relieve pain and tension by gentle manipulations of the skull regarded as harmonizing with a natural rhythm in the central nervous system.

 

 

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch.

 

 

 

 

Sound therapy promotes physical and psychological healing by putting your body into a parasympathetic state.

Champissage or Indian head massage, is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders, often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition.

 

 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage MLD treatment is profoundly relaxing, as it calms the nervous system, reduces pain, and restores balance.
