  One in five Britons has consulted a complementary therapist. What do they know about the therapist they see? Usually very little. This guide is the first to provide credible independent information, applying the Dr Foster analytical treatment to a mostly unregulated industry. Working with statutory bodies in the field and other professional representation, Dr Foster has created new best practice benchmarks against which members of the general public can judge individual practitioners. You will no longer have to rely on chance as to the competence of the practitioner or efficacy of the therapy. With an in depth look at osteopathy, chiropractic, herbalism, acupuncture and homeopathy, the guide will look at the theory behind the therapy, what to expect from a visit to a practitioner and give broad guidelines for treatment. Most importantly, it will discuss training and regulation and explain integrated health care. It will also tell you how to get treatment on the NHS, and discuss the pros and cons of that versus private treatment.
