Alternative healing is a comprehensive approach to handling a host of health problems and conditions. Rather than just concentrating on the scientific treating a diagnosis, alternative healing targets the 'whole self', that includes mind, body and spirit.

Healing

The entire process of recovery or spiritual upliftment can be as effortless as spending some time in the beauty and bounty of nature in which the sweet smell of flowers or the warmth from the sun elicits a general feeling of well-being.

The Karoo

An example of an ideal healing environment can be found in the heart of South Africa. The Karoo is a semi-desert environment characterised by spectacular surroundings, spectacular sunsets and a long history of healing.
