Why should I use complementary & holistic therapies?

Why Use Holistic or Complementary Therapies?

There are many reasons why people are choosing alternative therapies to complement, or even replace, conventional health care.

Complementary MassageHolistic medicine is an approach that aims to deal with the patient as a whole - not just merely the symptoms. Many people have visited their GP or other health care professional and felt as if they were on a production line. The blind faith that has been placed in conventional medicine has been shaken by so-called wonder drugs that have unpleasant or even dangerous side-effects.

Disenchantment with conventional medicine has prompted a large number of people to use complementary therapies. Studies show that it is rare to abandon conventional medicine completely and many continue to hold it's effects in high regard. However, complementary therapies can often seem the more appealing, when faced with the choice.

What Can Complementary Health Care Offer Me?

Complementary medicine, with its complete approach of treating the whole person, rather than just the symptom has a lot to offer the patient.

  • A more natural, gentle approach

  • A more patient-centric diagnosis

  • More time to discuss with and relate to the practitioner

  • Alternatives to unpleasant conventional medicine

  • It can help relieve incurable, or terminal, conditions, sometimes markedly

  • Environmentally and animal friendly treatments (on the whole)

Important!

If you have any of these symptoms, ALWAYS consult a Medical Doctor or your GP immediately!
