As conventional medicine becomes increasingly more expensive and complicated, many people are seeking alternative therapies and natural remedies to treat their diseases.
However, it is important to keep in mind that these therapies should complement, not replace conventional medicine.

We can see an example of the increasing popularity of natural remedies in the stores. Today, many of the herbal remedies that could only be found in health shops are sold in any supermarket and in greater numbers than before. Another example is yoga, once regarded as a practice for hippies. Today, it has become a serious discipline and is respected by many professionals. It is used to maintain good health and peace of mind.

One of the appeals of alternative therapies is the emphasis on treating individuals as a whole, that is to say, in body, mind, and spirit. Several of these therapies are based on the belief that health depends on the perfect balance between the physical, emotional, and the spiritual.

In this section you will find a short explanation of some of the alternative therapies that exist today.
