ALTERNATIVE HEALTH IRELAND

We have just launched our new ALTERNATIVE HEALTH FORUM boards. Everyone is welcome to join in the chat as we hope to create a welcoming atmosphere where we can all get together and discuss the latest goings on with other like minded people.

Our aim is to provide Irish people with a one stop shop when looking for an Alternative Health Care or Alternative Medicine Practitioner, Course, Shop or Seminar in Ireland.

On the site you will find listings of individual practitioners, a specific course or information about an individual class relating to the area of complementary health that you have an interest in. You can quickly search our database for specific TCM Therapies located near you.

You can also keep up to date with news and articles relating to any Therapy listed on the site.

We have organised each Therapy into different sections to make it as quick and easy for you to find exactly what you are looking for. Here is a list showing some of the main Therapies we cover on the site.
