Did you know 43% of adults feel like they aren't managing their stress, and 54% of college students report feeling overwhelming anxiety? You could use pills and medicines to reduce these ailments, but for those of us who are hesitant to try or who have tried and not been successful with pills, there are alternative therapies that could prove to be more successful than the pharmaceutical route.
In the next few blog posts, I will be outlining the therapies Graf researched. I think it is so important to look seriously at alternative therapies because many of them are free! Below is a list of alternative therapies to research for yourself...it might be worth it!
- Stress and relaxation techniques
- Meditation
- Yoga
- Acupuncture
- Kava
- Homeopathic or naturopathic medicine
- Dietary supplements or herbal products
- Massage therapy
- Art, music, or dance therapy
- Meditation, prayer, or pastoral counseling, including mindfulness
- Bioelectromagnetic therapies
