Karoo Holistic Recovery Excursions

Alternative healing is a thorough method of dealing with a host of health issues and conditions. Rather than only focusing on the scientific treating a diagnosis, alternative healing focuses on the 'whole self', which includes mind, body and spirit.


Healing:


The process of recovery or spiritual upliftment can be as easy as spending time in the beauty and bounty of nature in which the sweet smell of flowers or even the warmth from the sun brings about an overall sensation of well-being.


Academic studies carried out to calculate the healing results of nature all concur that clean, clear air, scenic beauty and the healing abilities of wild vegetation and herbal treatments are amazing elixirs to a range of problems.


The Karoo:


An example of the perfect healing environment can be found in the heart of South Africa. The Karoo is really a semi-desert environment characterised by spectacular scenery, dramatic sunsets and a lengthy history of healing.


Endowed with a natural apothecary of vegetation, herbs and plants renowned for their curative abilities, and with fresh, dry air that prompted the introduction of a Victorian sanatorium to deal with tuberculosis along with other respiratory system illnesses, the Karoo is renowned for its healing characteristics.


Relaxing activities:


Physical exercise is an effective way of de-stressing. In addition to the pleasurable emotions created from the secretion of hormones, exercise is frequently valuable 'me-time' in a world dictated by time demands.


The mind has got the chance to clear itself of clutter and, as is so eloquently expressed by the legendary US President, JF Kennedy: "Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity".


Introspection, a process of quietening your brain that allows you to attain a state of heightened awareness, is a well-liked way of relaxing and a good alternative therapy. You can use it to lessen hypotension as well as reducing insomnia - both negative effects of high anxiety levels.


The healing process is also boosted by more subtle nuances where individuals are encouraged to reflect on the comparative security, joy and ease of life compared to those less fortunate; the mental 'appreciation' of all the things that enhance life.
