  This practical guide covers all the major types of complementary therapies and is aimed at the General Practitioner and health professional. The intention is to provide an easy-to-use reference guide that will give the doctor enough information to be able to advise or refer a patient who is a suitable candidate for another form of treatment. Each chapter is organized to cover the history, mechanism of action and techniques of a therapy, as well as the conditions that are suitable or otherwise for the particular type of therapy. The advantages and disadvantages of treatment are also given. Costs are discussed, together with the pros and cons of NHS funding versus private fees, and an appendix gives contact numbers for further education, training and appropriate referrals.
