Touch Cures

Categories:  Baby Care, body care

Touch brings healing.  I think it’s second nature for mothers to really hold their little ones with a cuddle.   It’s our very first mode of communication that gives so much love and security to that little new life.    As the child learns to move around the house, then comes colds, fever and tantrums.  Coddling does wonders in the child’s recovery.   Therapeutic touch claims to reduce pain and anxiety.  That is true for most of us.  Although some would prefer healing in a distance.  I know someone who freaks out and squeaks whenever someone touches her back as in a massage.  Let me classify her as an unwilling patient.  The fact holds that everyone needs to be touched.  Touch therapists claim that when they place their hands on a patient, they are able to detect and manipulate the patient’s “touch points” or putative energy field.   This therapy recognizes that the healee (patient) heals himself.  The healer (therapists) is acting mainly as a support system, to aid in recovery, until the patient’s body is robust enough to take over and continue the healing process.

The human mind and body, as created by God, is very much capable of regeneration and self healing.  But it needs a support system to get going with the process.  This is one of the concepts and cause of the brain specialist Dr. Daniel Amen.  Treatment is provided at the Amen Clinic for patients in need of proper health care.  These Treatments for Symptoms are configured to fit the patient’s needs.

So when kids (and hubby) ask for a rub on the back, I won’t even think twice.  If their body heals more quickly with a touch, I might as well give mine.
