WFBH Healing
Touch Services and Training
|
|
 WFBH is the first hospital
in the region to provide Healing Touch for
patients, families, and staff. Healing Touch is recognized by
the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) as a biofield
therapy, and is a simple, non-invasive technique which
uses the human hand to provide comfort and promote
healing. As an energy-based approach to health and
healing, hospitals,
hospices, nursing units and long term care facilities are utilizing
this therapy throughout the United States to help promote healing,
reduce pain, and bring a sense of calm and well being. To
learn more, view the Introduction to
Healing Touch video, or visit the CIM website.

 A
new review by ConsumerLab.com on SAMe (S-adenosyl-methionine)
supplements indicates that It relieves symptoms
of osteoarthritis and may help with depression, but which SAMe
supplements are best?
ConsumerLab.com
found that only 7 out of 10 SAMe supplements selected for review
passed quality testing. No SAMe was found in one supplement,
and another provided only 75% of its listed amount of the
ingredient. Learn more.

Dietary Supplement
Classification Table was developed by the Human
Performance Resource Center - Department of Defense

risks associated?" And finally, "Are the potential benefits
worth the risks?" Learn more!
