Natural Healing with Biofeedback

There seems to be a lot of talk lately about using Biofeedback as a natural healing device and stress reliever.

Biofeedback is useful because you actually get visual information on what signals the body is giving you (kind of like when you step on a scale and you see how much you weigh).

Although the word seems a little confusing, just think of Biology.

How Biofeedback Works?

Most of us have gone through a Biology class at some point in our lives; it’s all about the body and how it functions.

That is where the first part of the word comes from “Bio” meaning the body, and the Feedback part comes from the technology used to get and view information from the body.

Most Biofeedback devices use a multi-media display, such as a computer screen or monitor, to “feed back” the information to the user.

Monitoring Vital Body Signals

Clinicians use high-tech devices that can monitor brain activity, and internal bodily functions such as blood pressure and heart rate.

There are also simple home devices, and computer biofeedback games that are easy to use, with attachments to the fingers to measure pulse rate and temperature.

Benefits of Biofeedback Therapy

The reason Biofeedback is so popular is that it is a pain free way to relieve all kinds of ailments.

One of the uses being migraine headache relief, but it is also useful to control heart rate, blood pressure, digestive disorders, etc., those functions that are not usually controlled voluntarily.

Any system in your body that can actually be monitored can be controlled, with enough practice.
