Making Complementary Therapies Work for You

An unsurpassable guide for anyone considering complementary therapies for support and healing. The reasons for turning to complementary therapies are many, and the number of therapies is bewildering. One thing that is common across the whole .eld of these therapies is greater involvement in our own process of getting better. MAKING COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES WORK FOR YOU is a profoundly practical guide that makes the choice simpler and the participation richer. It begins by describing the principles behind all these forms of treatment, which are surprisingly similar. It then breaks them down into four ?families?: the Chinese systems, such as acupuncture; the Indian, or Ayurvedic system that extends from nutrition to yoga; Western subtle systems like homeopathy; and the communicators between body, mind and spirit such as .ower essences. It is not however a directory so much as a simple guide to participation.
