How Effective Is Complementary Medicine & How Long Lasting is it.

To my mind, finding the right therapist you are happy with and giving you the most suitable treatment, then therapies are extremely effective in helping to restore health.

We are never allowed to talk of cure but if you have a condition and you have treatments and you don’t have the symptoms after, then I guess it has worked!

Therapists have to be very careful to make claims that they don’t treat specific conditions also, but again, therapies work to address dis-ease in the body, you can’t make only one part well, it all has to be well for good health to be restored and complementary medicine is a very holistic approach to the body.

How long lasting is it?

How long is a piece of string? Given that people very often are told they need to take certain medication for life, even those that are just thought to be preventative, which of course we never know if they are, then complementary medicine is the same. You do it until you feel better and then very often people may build a maintenance programme into their life to help them keep as well as they can.

It is all about stacking the deck in your favour.

A therapist will have more time to look at your lifestyle and see what might be contributing to the ill health or problem. It then requires the client/patient to make the changes alongside the treatments. If what you have done up to that point has led to a problem, then you have to change it, if not the problem remains.

Keep doing what you always do and you get what you always got! Be guided to another way and you end up with a better result – health and good well being!
