Alternative Remedies etc

I'n being nosey again folks !!

Just wondered if any of you use alternative remedies etc - not what you use them for but what sort you use and what you think of them. there are loads out there from herbalism and homeopathy, to colour therapy, reflexology, aromatherapy and various nutritional ones..the list is lengthy.

To me herbalism works - I use herbs and they work better than conventional medicines. Homeopathy and flower remedies I think have more of a placebo effect thing and i give them a miss - though i love the idea of flower remedies. I also think the placebo effect is interesting because it means, that to a certain degree, the body is able to heal itself. I also use aromatherapy a lot and when I was able to , can't now for personal reasons, i found that being on a raw food diet made me feel a lot better in myself, but then just being happy can do that because I know in 6 weeks I'm going to be bouncing all over the place, so.... anyway enough of that!

I'd really be interested to hear other peoples views on this subject.
