The complementary therapies we feature on this site can improve all aspects of your wellbeing. Many complementary therapies use a holistic approach to medicine and recognise the value of healing the whole person.Therefore, they are not just designed to treat physical symptoms, though many are effective when used in this capacity. Complementary therapies are often better than orthodox medicine at addressing mental and physical problems brought about by tension, stress and emotional issues.
You don't have to be ill to benefit from complementary therapies - often the greatest benefit is the sense of wellbeing they promote. This makes them ideal for relieving stress and encouraging relaxation.
While Complementary Therapies can be very effective for specific physical symptoms, they should never be used instead of orthodox medicine. If you do have a specific illness consult your doctor to ensure the therapy you choose will complement your existing treatment.
