Natural Health Care Systems
Natural health or complementary medicine (or therapies) encompasses a broad range of healing practices that are both ancient (eg. acupuncture) and modern (eg. cranio-sacral osteopathy). There are over 100 different natural therapies that can be used to promote well-being and restore health. Many have their own methods of diagnosis and treatment that assist the body's natural recuperative processes and are complimentary to conventional treatment. Conventional and complementary medicine have a different approach to health treatment, and with each comes strengths and weaknesses, therefore at Nourish we advocate the use of complementary medicine in conjunction with conventional medicine in order to provide the best health outcomes for you and your family. For most people the biggest problem is identifying which type of complementary medicine would be most helpful for their needs. To help you understand a little about some of the main natural therapies/practices and where to find a qualified practitioner, see below.
