Alternative Therapies

Alternative therapies or medicine focus on the health of the mind and body.

As the Greek physician and philosopher Hippocrates once said, we are “an integral part of the cosmos”. For him, all diseases have a natural cause and our balance and health are directly related to the environment in which we live.

This idea is also close to the oriental conception of medicine, according to which diseases are energetic imbalances caused by elements that surround us, our feelings and our emotional states. Oriental medicine is based on the theory that health is achieved through a balance between Yin and Yang, two opposing and inseparable forces. Yin represents the cold and passive aspects of the person, Yang represents fire, excitement and its active aspects.
