Craniosacral
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a form of alternative medicine that involves gentle manipulation of the skull and spine, particularly the cranial bones and sacrum, which are connected by the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Homeopathy is a gentle, non-invasive form of medicine that uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. Ailments that are often treated include allergies, stress, and digestive issues.
