Prolonged dental work can disrupt your TMJ which in turn causes tension throughout the entire nervous system and can cause headaches, neck pain and other symptoms in the body. Bowen therapy is very effective in releasing this tension and restoring function.

Sciatica
Bowen therapy can help with sciatica by addressing muscle tension, nerve irritation, and movement patterns that contribute to pain.

How Bowen can help

1. Reduces muscle tension around the sciatic nerve

Bowen therapy uses gentle, rolling movements over muscles, tendons, and fascia. For sciatica, this often targets the lower back, gluteal muscles, piriformis, and hamstrings.
Relaxing these tissues can reduce compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve
This is especially relevant in piriformis-related sciatica

2. Influences the nervous system

Bowen therapy activates the parasympathetic (rest-and-repair) nervous system. This may decrease pain sensitivity. It can help calm protective muscle guarding that worsens nerve pain

3. Improves movement and alignment

By reducing fascial restrictions, Bowen therapy improves how the pelvis, hips, and lower spine move. Better movement can reduce repeated strain on nerve roots. This may help in cases where sciatica is aggravated by posture or muscle imbalance. Tension and misalignment through the pelvis affects the whole nervous system, realigning the pelvis relaxes and relieves sciatica.

4. Encourages the body’s self-regulation

Bowen therapy is often described as giving the body “information” rather than forcing change. Short pauses between procedures allows the nervous system to integrate signals. Some people notice gradual improvements over several days after treatment.

5. May reduce inflammation indirectly

While Bowen therapy doesn’t directly treat inflammation, muscle relaxation and improved circulation and calming the sympathetic nervous system may help reduce secondary inflammation around irritated nerves.

Bowen Therapy gives your body the gentle input to remind it how to relax, unwind, re-align and begin to heal itself.
Bowen therapy can be effective for chronic ailments that other therapies have not helped.

🌺How Reiki Helps With Anxiety🌺

1. Deep Relaxation Response

Reiki induces a state of calm similar to meditation.
This can:
• Reduce physical tension
• Lower heart rate
• Decrease cortisol (stress hormone)
• Create a sense of mental quiet

When the body is deeply relaxed, anxiety symptoms naturally lessen.

⸻

2. Activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System

Reiki helps shift the body from “fight-or-flight” into rest-and-digest mode.
This can:
• Slow breathing
• Relax muscles
• Relieve stress-related heaviness in the chest or stomach
• Promote emotional stability

This shift can be especially helpful for people who experience chronic or high-baseline anxiety.

⸻

3. Helps Interrupt Racing Thoughts

Because Reiki encourages stillness and brings attention into the body, many people report:
• A quieter mind
• Fewer intrusive thoughts
• Feeling more “present”

This grounding effect can reduce the mental spirals that fuel anxiety.

⸻

4. Emotional Release and Regulation

Reiki sessions can help people access and release stored emotional tension.
Many experience:
• A sense of emotional cleansing
• Release of built-up stress
• Increased clarity

This can improve emotional regulation and reduce anxiety over time.

⸻

5. Supportive Touch and Connection

Human touch—when safe and appropriate—has measurable calming effects:
• Boosts oxytocin (the “bonding” and calming hormone)
• Lowers stress and blood pressure
• Creates a feeling of safety

Even non-touch Reiki can feel soothing because it provides focused, compassionate attention.

⸻

6. Enhances Mindfulness and Self-Awareness

Reiki naturally pairs well with mindfulness.
People often find:
• They tune into their body instead of their worries
• They feel more centered
• They gain insight into emotional triggers

This can create long-lasting coping benefits beyond the session itself.

🌸How Reiki May Help With Pain🌸

1. Deep Relaxation Response

Reiki sessions typically place the body in a state of deep relaxation. This can:
• Reduce muscle tension
• Lower stress hormones
• Ease physical discomfort
Relaxation itself can interrupt the “stress–pain cycle,” making pain feel less intense.

2. Activation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System

Reiki often induces a calm, meditative state. This activates the body’s rest-and-digest system, which:
• Slows heart rate
• Reduces inflammation markers
• Helps the body shift away from “fight-or-flight,” which can worsen pain

3. Improved Mood and Pain Perception

People receiving Reiki often report:
• Reduced anxiety
• Improved mood
• Greater emotional balance
When stress and anxiety decrease, the brain interprets pain as less severe.

Research from Purdue University published in "Environmental Science and Technology Letters" shows scented wax melts emit nanoparticles formed when terpenes react with indoor ozone. Concentrations matched diesel exhaust exposure levels, raising health concerns. The particles can reach deep into the lungs, and some compounds act as endocrine disruptors.
