Muscle Testing- An Alternative Approach to a Healthier Life
Similar to most other things, even the field of health and medicine has witnessed a significant transformation across the years and generations. In the recent past, medical care was limited to pills and medicines; including oral, injections and others. Back to the present and we see many health practitioners prescribing alternative medicine with or without conventional medicines.
Have you not commonly observed health practitioners suggest acupuncture, physiotherapy, muscle testing, yoga and other alternative medicine for complete health enhancement and well-being? Do you know that herbal medicines can treat diabetes, skin problems, heart diseases and more so?
Beyond Pills
Thanks to its many benefits, people are aggressively resorting to alternative medicine for improved health conditions. However, alternative medicine is prescribed with or without conventional medicines.
For instance: For a back pain, the patient may initially resort to pain relief pills for temporary relief, but eventually take up physiotherapy for enhancement of muscle strength. In other cases, only physiotherapy, yoga, acupuncture or herbal medicines can provide pain relief without the use of pills.

Look around and you will see a good number of health practitioners curing many diseases with alternative medicine.
Health and more
Here are the many benefits of alternative medicine.
- The primary advantage of alternative medicine is that it cures and prevents diseases while saving you from the side effects of conventional medicine.
- Alternative medicine is mostly based on core energy channels, chakras, reaching the source of “imbalance”, the mind-body connection etc, which have been practiced for thousands of years. Before the advent of conventional medicines (allopathy), people used these methods to treat diseases. It is therefore a holistic approach, which heals the entire body and not only the specific place affected.
- People resorting to alternative medicine eventually adopt a healthy lifestyle, including yoga, meditation and a healthy diet. Alternative medicine therefore, proves beneficial in the long-term and not only for the time till the disease is treated.
- Alternative medicine like muscle testing aims at curing the root causes of the disease rather than treat it superficially for temporary relief. For instance: Through muscle testing, the practitioner understands the core cause of the problem by communicating with the subconscious mind and treating the cause of the stress, rather than just prescribe a pill for pain relief.
- Unlike conventional medicine, alternative medicine aims at curing the mind, body and soul. Physiotherapy, massage therapy, muscle testing etc helps the patient to relax and reduce stress.
Alternative medicine makes the patient more optimistic, which results in health improvement eventually.
- Alternative medicine treatments are mostly cheaper than conventional medicine treatments.
The above points explain the increasing popularity of alternative medicine.
The best change
Thanks to the many benefits of alternative medicine, it is being incorporated along with conventional medicine. Both conventional and alternative medicines are being used together towards the patient’s overall benefit.
For instance: Heart diseases are treated with conventional medicines. To complement the same, alternative medicine for better health and prevention is prescribed in the form of yoga, nutritional diet and so on.
