The role of Convalescence in Covid-19

​Convalescence doesn’t just mean lying on the couch for an afternoon.  We used to have spa’s, convalescence homes and rural retreats, where people would go to recover after an illness, not as an expensive weekend away.
 
There is an art of convalescence and part of it is to truly allow yourself to relax into it, to truly allow the body time to heal. 
 
In my clinic I am often helping my clients in their recovery from long-term illness or to recouperate after illness or surgery.  The idea of convalescence is hard for many, even the name is now linked in our minds to a place for the elderly and infirm.  Convalescence used to be recognized as a vital part of recovery and regaining full health.
 
So how does that apply to the situation the world finds itself in now?  Well in truth it relates in a number of ways:

• Recovering after contracting the virus – there are many effects this virus has on the body after the initial infection, we do not know all of the long-term effects yet.  Some we do know are lung scarring, anxiety, heart and kidney issues
• Those who didn’t get the virus but have lost a lot due to the restrictions.  This can affect physical and mental health.

 
So, where does what I do come in? 
 
Nutrition, Naturopathy, Herbal medicines, reflexology, cupping and reiki can all help with the recovery process, to improve health and wellbeing.  There is an art to convalescing, it includes diet, herbs, rest, meditations, lowering stress, getting out in nature when you can.  It’s about changing our mindsets to recognizing what we need and not having to be on the go constantly.
