The principles of Alternative Medicine state that the body has the ability to heal itself by its vital force; disease is the resistance by this force to abnormal conditions in the body, disturbing the normal functioning of its organs and tissues and, Alternative Medicine is a natural treatment which approaches the person as a whole and not merely the symptoms of the complaint.

Alternative Medicine incorporates a variety of natural approaches; actively through diet, nutrition and exercise and passively through rest and relaxation; to promote health and well-being on all levels: body, mind and spirit. Alternative Medicine is complimentary and can be utilized on its own or together with conventional medicine to support health and healing in all of its aspects.
