Natural Health, sometimes referred to as complementary health, offers a natural approach to health and wellbeing to complement conventional healthcare whilst alternative therapies are those which offer alternatives to conventional diagnosis and therapies. Natural Health approaches used together with conventional medicine is known as integrative medicine. Natural Therapies include herbal medicine, Chinese medicine, chiropractic, osteopathy, nutritional therapy, naturopathy, acupuncture, reflexology, aromatherapy, yoga and others.
Natural Health approaches are something many of us turn to for stress relief and for long-term conditions, such as back pain and chronic health conditions which may not have responded to conventional medicine. Some members of the public are also committed to finding natural, non drug dependent approaches to achieving better health. A life coach, a counsellor or massage therapist, for example, may provide support to those experiencing life crises or long term stress whilst an acupuncturist, massage therapist, osteopath or chiropractor may provide relief from pain including back pain, shoulder pain, headaches or hip pain.
