I have spoken to a few people who have suggested chiropractic and or acupuncture. Anyone have experience with this?

I've seen a chiropractor before and it helped with back pain. No specific back pain now though. I was just thinking of holistic medicine.

Someone else (who has crohns) said she uses "cupping," which is a Chinese alternative treatemwnt. She swears by it.

What are you trying to treat? I would imagine it's good for relaxation. I haven't done it personally, I am usually trying to avoid doctors and appointments, I get so antsy waiting around & then having to sit through procedures. I would do it if I had a reason, but at the moment, I don't feel it would provide any benefit and it would drain my pocket. Holistic medicine for what? Imagine you may not need any, wouldn't that be nice??? tongue

Humm good question. Relaxation, being able to focus, dealing with stress.

I think perhaps it could be helpful for that. I think I am going to see someone to try to get to the bottom of my general stress. I would imagine there are a lot of ways we could go about it. I tried antidepressant in the past, and it helped me in some ways, and made me worse in other way. There has to be a better solution. Let me know if you do it, and if it helps.

I have not tried either one, but I do use some specific yoga moves and breathing that really help me with stress and reaching a more calm place.

The one that works best for me is Legs Up a Wall and they I focus on my breathing. When I do this 15-20 minutes a day I'm noticeably more relaxed and I sleep better.
