How Do You Choose the Right Complementary Therapy?

Choosing the right complementary therapy is always a challenge as there is no right or wrong way of doing it. The guideline is to look at the nature of illness to be treated and what effective complementary therapy is available with success rate details including side effects. Normally we go with suggestions from the near and dear ones or from practitioners or Internet or TV advertisements.

 

Nutritional Therapy requires a specialist practitioner who is well trained in biochemistry, physiology and pathology as well as natural medicines. This enables the practitioner to use their extensive knowledge in diagnostic procedures that will determine an individual's nutritional needs; what deficiencies may have occurred, and why. They will develop customized diets and supplements which will often cure illnesses such as eczema, hyperactivity, chronic fatigue and migraine, to name but a few.

 

So how do you know which choice to make when it comes to choosing complementary medicine therapy? Should you take your eczema to a herbalist, acupuncturist or a nutritional therapist? Many professional associations ask their therapists to offer a preliminary consultation free of charge. A Nutritional Therapist will use this time to identify the possible presence of food allergy, vitamin or mineral deficiencies, and/or toxic overload. When they have diagnosed what is present, an individual program will be developed. A Nutritional Therapist will want to work on many other factors too. Such as genetics, emotional or geographical stress and electromagnetic fields.
