Newcastle’s Green Festival invited a range of complimentary medicine practitioners to give free tasters of their activities in the healing area. This popular area is free and took place in the peaceful surroundings in the wooded glades near the lake. This year the Healing Area provides a selection of alternative therapies ranging from Reiki to Aromatherapy. The 2006 Festival included healing sessions for: Reiki – Reiki practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to heal and harmonize. Unlike other healing therapies based on the premise of a human energy field, Reiki seeks to restore order to the body whose vital energy has become unbalanced. Aromatherapy - The practice of using volatile plant oils, including essential oils, for psychological and physical well-being. Ayurvedic massage – Ayurveda is the traditional Indian system of medicine…Ayur meaning ‘life’ and Veda meaning ‘science’. Ayurvedic massage is thus based on a traditional system that views its medicine as the ‘science of life’. Homeopathy - Treatment and medication based upon principles that elements which produce certain health benefits can reverse the same features in disease. Herbalism - Use of plants and extracts to help heal and prevent disease as well as restore the bodies self help capacity. Osteopathy - Is a form of physical manipulation to relieve illnesses caused by the misalignment of bones and joints. Indian Head Massage – includes massage of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face and ears. It induces a sense of calmness and releases anxieties, improves concentration and alertness, relieves mental and physical tiredness, edginess and depression. Shiatsu – a pressure point massage technique whereby finger pressure is applied to specific points on the body to stimulate meridians and energy. Healing area organiser, Emily Bird, said: “The Green Festival has built up a tremendous reputation over the years for its relaxing and family friendly entertainment and for anyone wanting to learn more about alternative healing therapies. The healing area offers a wonderful opportunity for people to unwind, smell the flowery aromatherapy scents and experience a completely different approach to health.” |
