Natural Help for Neurofibromatosis
Holistic/Emotional Treatment

There is extensive research on emotional factors in the development and healing of regular cancer.

See When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection for an eye-opening look into the impact of emotions on chronic conditions.

Given that stress seems to be so closely associated with worsening NF tumors, addressing emotions, stress, and epigenetics/gene expression could be a promising area for naturally managing neurofibromatosis.

Here are some ideas for emotional/psychosocial treatment and support:

  • Stress relief
  • Relaxation practices
  • Therapy
  • Reducing stored trauma so the immune system can function more effectively
  • Trauma and shock treatment (Read about the differences here)
  • Trauma releasing exercises (extremely powerful and effective, use gradually with care, see the book)
  • Endorphins from enjoyable life activities
  • Reiki
  • Visualization and imagery meditation
  • Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or Tapping
  • Self-expression
  • Community/belonging
  • Music
  • Reverse therapy - speaking one's truth in an effective way, taking care of oneself - see Reverse Therapy
  • Larger perspective/spirituality/meaning in life
  • Feeling needed and contributing/giving back
