Visualizing your way to health
Article Abstract:
Guided imagery is now a popular form of relaxation therapy in the US. By helping patients lower their anxiety levels and maintain a sense of control over their illness, guided imagery has been known to help cancer patients feel better and may even be helpful for irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, anxiety and insomnia. However, the therapy cannot be used in lieu of traditional medicine as it is not curative.
