And the idea with constitutional treatments is they're trying to take into account everything about you that they can and move your body into a balanced place where your body is then triggered to do its own healing. They can improve quality of life, your overall vitality, physical, mental, and emotional engagement, your overall feeling of satisfaction with how you're progressing, many, many other things. Constitutional treatments can include things such as traditional Chinese medicine and other traditional medicines around the world. There's hydrotherapy, Ayurvedic medicine, and then there's homeopathy. Constitutional treatments make everything else work better because they're working sort of apart from your disease and really working on you and working with the healthy part of you to make it healthier, make it more able to respond.
