Natural health remedies and alternative health care practices are thriving in New Zealand, but do they work? And if so, which ones and why?
Naturopath and founder of Wellington's Natural Health Centre Peter Waugh describes some of the different therapies on offer and puts Ideas producer Jeremy Rose under the candle.
GP and Otago University's Wellington Medical School senior lecturer in primary health care Dr Ben Gray talks about harnessing the placebo effect and the importance of understanding belief in the healing process.
And Shaun Holt a medical doctor - who also has pharmacy degree - reviews the evidence for natural remedies.
A weekly programme exploring a range of philosophical, social, historical and environmental ideas.
Ideas is broadcast on Radio New Zealand National at 11:05am on Sunday Morning with Chris Laidlaw
