This is the UK's guide to complementary and alternative medicine, self-development and natural remedies and a good resource to find a therapist in the UK

Alternative or complementary therapies are generally viewed as using a more holistic approach to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. This means that, instead of looking at individual symptoms, the practitioner will often try to understand how the symptoms may relate to processes that are taking place throughout all levels of your being. Whilst conventional medicine is mostly about alleviating the symptoms, complementary medicine tends to work with the cause as well as the effect, thereby leading you to a better understanding of how you can have a healthier life.
