Complementary therapies: what to know

Complementary therapies include approaches such as naturopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, reflexology or homeopathy. They aim to support your overall well-being and can complement, but should not replace, the treatment offered by your doctor, with whom they are best discussed.

When to book an appointment

• Looking for holistic support for your well-being
• Stress, ongoing fatigue or sleep problems
• Alongside medical treatment you are already receiving
• Wanting to try a natural or gentle approach

Costs in Switzerland

Complementary therapies are generally covered by supplementary insurance; some methods practised by doctors may be covered by compulsory basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG).
