aroma/massage therapy

This is a good example of Mildmay’s holistic approach as massage can not only treat the physical symptoms associated with HIV+AIDS but it is also a great comfort and source of relaxation for the patient.

For patients who have experienced the stigma and isolation associated with HIV, the act of touch can be as beneficial as the sense of well being that massage can provide. What’s more, evidence shows that massage can increase CD4 T (immune) cells and thus assist in increasing patients’ immunity.
