	Complementary medicine
		This is in contrast to complementary medicine practitioners who generally have longer consultation times and focus on gaining information from the patient regarding their lifestyle as well as actual symptoms.
		Complementary health practitioners also question the suitability of randomised clinical trials in relation to complementary medicine because of its holistic approach (treating mind, body and spirit at the same time) and the fact that it is tailored specifically to each individual.
		Critics of complementary medicine often claim that reported therapeutic benefits are due to the ‘placebo effect’ (positive responses to a medicine or treatment which cannot be attributed to physiological properties).

	The Healing Effect - Complementary Medicine's Unifying Principle?
		All therapies, conventional or complementary, are only models of treatment through which the therapist manifests these healing processes, although the more obvious aspects of the therapy may also have a direct effect upon the physical body and the therapist may not be consciously aware of the involvement of the healing effect.
		The diversity of techniques of complementary medicine and the different explanations of how they may rebalance energies and stimulate the vis medicatrix naturae, may be a source of difficulty when any therapy is proposed for acceptance by government regulatory bodies.
		We believe that if most complementary therapists were to recognise that they primarily harnessed "healing energy" and that the techniques and instruments they used were largely part of the ritual for achieving this, then complementary medicine would be in a much stronger position to defend itself from criticisms by conventionally-trained scientists.
