Various aspects of complementary and alternative medicine are not appealing to me... but I think I can sum up what does appeal in one sentence:
It gives me a feeling of being in control.
I can buy the products, I can choose what to take and what not to take, I can decide on the dose, I'm not dependent on anyone else for the provision of treatment. I think this produces a psychological benefit and a reduction in stress.
I think conventional medicine can sometimes create a feeling of not being in control, which is potentially stressful.
