An integrated approach to healthcare draws on safe complementary and
alternative treatments as well as mainstream pharmacological medicines,
providing a wider choice of effective healthcare options for consumers.
Global
research together with rising sales figures for natural medicines
demonstrate that consumers are increasingly opting for an integrated
approach to their own healthcare, drawing together effective
complementary therapies and orthodox medical treatments. Complementary
and alternative medicines have been shown to be very cost-effective and
safe, often comparing favourably with mainstream products.
Throughout
the world, publicly-funded Health Services, as well as private
providers, are delivering and funding treatments such as osteopathy,
homeopathy and hypnotherapy in hospitals and community practice on a
routine basis.
We at Nelsons are committed to widening patient
choice by developing and distributing natural medicines, supported by
appropriate information and educational resources for practitioners and
patients alike.
