DQ2 Choosing the Non-Herbal Topic for the Complementary Treatment Discussion

Initial Post

Identify a non-herbal complementary treatment with purported mental health benefits. Examples include but are not limited to: light boxes, fidget toys, aromatherapy, yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, Qigong, breath exercises, massage, mental health apps, laughter yoga, acupuncture, aerobic exercise, guided imagery, mandalas, labyrinths, foot care, Himalayan salt lamps, etc. You are encouraged to choose a topic of interest to you.

Important!

Only one complementary treatment is to be chosen per student. Before you begin to answer the questions posted in the Week 14 discussion forum, review this discussion board to determine which treatments have already been chosen.

Your initial post is to let your peers know what complementary treatment you are choosing so no one else chooses the same treatment. When you have posted your complementary treatment choice to this discussion board, move on to the Week 14 Discussion 1: Complementary Treatment discussion and complete. Where appropriate, please use proper citations and APA format.
