Questa lezione ti fornirà alcune informazioni sulla medicina alternativa.

Complementary therapies are used alongside (insieme a) conventional drug-based (farmacologico) treatment and produce fewer side effects (effetti indesiderati). They can be expensive, but some are available (disponibili) on the National Health Service (Servizio Sanitario Nazionale). Always find out whether (scopri se) your therapist is properly qualified before you go ahead (procedere) with treatment.

Acupuncture uses needles (aghi) to puncture the skin (pelle) and restore the balance (equilibrio) of energy.

Dance therapy, drama therapy and music therapy encourage you to express your emotions and build self-confidence (fiducia in sè).

Aromatherapy is useful for resolving emotional problems with the help of essential oils from plants and trees.

Massage helps to relieve (alleviare) stress and tension by stimulating the blood flow (flusso sanguigno) and helping muscles (muscoli) to relax.

Reflexology is a system of foot (piede) massage used to relieve tension and treat illness (malattia).
The techniques that focus on (si concentrano su) combining a healthy mind (mente sana) with a healthy body include Alexander technique, T'ai chi and Yoga.
