Summer vacations might be the most powerful means of physical rejuvenation. A week on the beach, in the mountains or just sitting in cafés does wonders for the body and the soul. After a few days of being jostled on the U-Bahn and sitting at your desk, though, aches and irritations always seem to reappear. The age-old remedies of holistic medicine are an increasingly popular alternative means of dealing with the physical and spiritual pains of modern life. Instead of prescriptions, try an hour in a saltwater flotation tank, a foot reflexology session or a rebalancing massage. Some practitioners can even do a screening of your immune system and prescribe different nutritional medicines to your body’s specific needs. If this, though in English, sounds confusing, let English-speaker Hildegard Münzel at Blumenstr. 27 help guide you through a program of healing. More information about all of these practices is available at
her website or by calling Münzel at 26 31 70. In any case, it is absolutely crucial that the practitioner you choose be very experienced and have an awareness of traditional medical treatments that may be necessary to bring you back to post-vacation bliss before next summer arrives.
