Complementary Therapies in Medicine

Raising Awareness in Complementary Therapy Benefits

According to Complementary Therapist and University Lecturer Norman Dunsby, Complementary and integrated healthcare approaches have gained significant importance in the past two decades and are now widely adopted in some NHS settings. A growing number of patients are seeking complementary healthcare in conjunction to their medical and nursing interventions. Dunsby states that his working in intensive care and specialist pallative cares ares has demonstrated the substantial benefits and value of these approches to patients and also caregivers.     Dunsby lectures at the University of Chester on using complementary therapies in clinical practice. He teaches that Reflexology, Massage and Aromatherapy all greatly  benefit the wellness of patients. There is raising awareness about the advantages of complementary and holistic therapies.  As such, complementary therapy is becoming an accepted part of mainstream healthcare.   It is obviously crucial that we look after ourselves and invest in our health when we are well. I believe complementary therapies are extremely important in preventing illnesses and keeping us balanced and restoring optimum health for the body. Yet, if we do become ill these invaluable therapies aid in many health benefits.  Dunsby states that now nurses and healthcare assistants often receive the training which allows them to carry out massages and relaxtion therapies sessions for patients.  Dunsby has had the platform to bring his expertise and knowledge to a new generation and planted the seed about the science and art of using complementary therapies in healthcare practices.   norman.dunsby@icloud.com
