Craniosacral Therapy: Health Benefits

Cerebrospinal fluid bathes the brain and central nervous system in a rich mixture of proteins, electrolytes, amino acids, and other essential nutrients. When the craniosacral system is properly aligned, proponents say, the central nervous system can efficiently deliver these substances to the rest of the body.

By clearing blockages, craniosacral therapy may help to:

• Boost general well being
• Reduce stress
• Improve the quality of sleep
• Increase energy
• Enhance the functioning of all the body's organs.
