Complementary and Natural therapies
There are many natural therapies available, and all of them have one single aim, and that is to assist the body to heal itself. The range of natural therapies includes iridology, herbal medicine, homoeopathy, flower essences, nutritional therapy, celloid therapy and relaxation massage. Traditional Chinese medicine, including Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping and Myotherapy treatments which include dry-needling, pain management and deep tissue therapies.
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been defined by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine as "a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine". For some CAM practices, there is scientific evidence that a treatment is both beneficial and safe. For many other practices, evidence is lacking or inconclusive.
Most patients who want to have their spiritual and psychological needs fulfilled, who want to use alternative and natural therapies, and who want to feel empowered, do not want to leave the conventional medical system. They want these services and values included or integrated with their traditional medical care. Many patients want to share this information with their providers and seek guidance to make certain that the combining of modalities are safe. Patients desire reliable information and value practitioners who are willing to talk to them about multiple approaches.
