One of the hallmarks of a Holistically Inspired acupuncture treatment is the added intentional and specific use of stone medicine (crystals) and essential oils. By combining therapeutics like this, we call on earth's innate healing powers and further connect to finding balance in our body. Through Holly's studies of Eastern medicines and traditions and Acupuncture, these tools are used with great attention and detail. They vary greatly from person to person and oftentimes even vary treatment to treatment depending on your healing evolution. The use of crystals and essential oils combines nicely with acupuncture and/or energy work.
Some of Holly's favorite uses for these "alternative" tools are:
Unrest
Heartache
Stress
Worry
Pain
Headaches
Clearing stuck emotions
Grounding (calming stress and anxiety quickly)
Easing fears associated with the treatment
Mental/emotional disturbances
Grief
Chakra balancing
Hormone balancing
Crystals provide healing power all on their own based on their own specific properties.
At Holistically Inspired, we use them in conjunction with acupuncture, reiki, energy work, and even coaching and yoga when indicated.
Just like working with the chakra system, we know this work is intimate. If crystals are not for you, they can just as easily be left out of the treatment!
Essential oils are used regularly in acupuncture, energy medicine, yoga, and coaching sessions!
The energetics of essential oils are applied to the treatment with the same intricacy and precision as we use herbs.
Essential oils are applied strategically to acupuncture points to deepen healing, relaxation, and speed up and extend healing reactions.
