Conquering PTSD with Natural Solutions
Tracking # 20-777036
Course overview
As anxiety, depression, trauma, fear, and uncertainty continue to rise and unfold after this global pandemic is over, our healthcare professionals will be left to pick up the pieces. While many people associate Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with something like war, it's a chronic psychiatric disorder that can affect anyone at anytime. Young and old, male or female. The National Center for PTSD estimates that between seven and eight percent of the United States will experience symptoms of PTSD at some point in their lives, with a staggering eight million Americans suffering each year. After the SARS outbreak in 2003, both healthcare workers and people who were self-quarantined exhibited symptoms of PTSD. The Covid-19 pandemic could have a similar effect. It can be incredibly challenging to recover from PTSD. Substance abuse, alchoholism, anxiety and depression often simultaneously affect those already suffering from PTSD. Conventional treatment often includes psychotropic medications, psychotherapy or both. As with battling most other mental and physical afflictions, healthy eating, regular exercise and a variety of natural solutions have been well-researched and documented to improve the overall health and symptoms from someone dealing with PTSD. This class is authored and presented by an Iraq War Veteran who spent ten years in a military uniform and saw things that can never be unseen. Her personal testimony is powerful. From battlefield, to broken, to believer in the power of natural solutions. The uses of essential oils are vast and represent a well-documented model for improving overall health. Widespread acceptance of essential oils had led many to choose this more natural approach to health maintenance. This class is a MUST for ANYONE interested in learning more about an evidence-based modality that is changing lives and making its way into mainstream medicine. Whether you are looking to increase your knowledge personally or professionally, this class will transform you.
