There are many ways to conceptualize health, many choices and supports to our health, many different types and combination of providers and modalities to help us. Some use different constructs to understand health --a western medical prospective, --an oriental medicine approach, --Ayurvedic medicine, --spiritual practices, --energy work, --nervous system function. Sometimes the choices can be overwhelming and some approaches are limited to only one area of our health.
