The nice thing about complementary therapies is that you can do something positive and interactive in dealing with hair loss.
Complementary therapies take a holistic approach to caring for you. A holistic treatment or therapy takes into consideration you as a whole person and works to harmonise your mind, body and spirit. These therapies or treatments do not claim to offer you a cure for your illness, promise to make your hair grow, or replace conventional treatments. They are offered to help improve your wellbeing and aid in any way they can.
In this section we will introduce you to some of the most widely available treatments and therapies that may be of particular benefit when dealing with hair loss and the emotional issues that can arise from that. There are a host of treatments on offer such as Indian head massage that can help to stimulate hair growth or Reiki to help relax your mind and support you as you cope with the physical and emotional challenges you may be facing. We will also help you to find an experienced, qualified or registered practitioner and advise you on how to discuss using any alternative/complementary therapies, which you must do, with your medical team.The treatments offered by complementary therapists can create a sense of wellbeing and relaxation. A caring touch to the head, scalp, body and mind can be a great support and comfort when dealing with hair loss and cancer.
