finding the right practitioner
Natural medicine is a holistic treatment that looks at you as an individual. While general nutrients, herbs and therapies may give remarkable results, seeing a qualified practitioner is essential to determine your specific needs and dosage levels. Many over-the-counter preparations are below the therapeutic daily allowance recommended by the World Health Organisation, and poor or little improvement could be expected with many of these products.
To find a suitable practitioner in your area, you could contact either of the following organisations (both websites have a practitioner search facility). Your local health foods store or community health centre may also have some contacts to suggest.
