complementary healing practices that base themselves on the following principles in an
attempt to create a state of wellness.

Identify the causative factor of the disease state and treat accordingly.

2. Choose methods of healing that will do no harm to the patient and avoid masking or
suppressing systems

3. Educate the patient where possible and highlight the importance of self-responsibility.
