Alternative treatments and therapies

Alternative approaches to traditional medical intervention can range from meditation and relaxation classes to treatments for specific problems using acupuncture or homeopathic remedies.
 
Some treatments are available via the NHS with a doctor’s referral.  Guidance on finding and choosing a therapist can be provided by the national bodies, such as the British Homeopathic Association or British Acupuncture Council, which keep registers of qualified practitioners.
