Alternative medicine is very popular in the Netherlands, with a wide variety of treatments available such as acupuncture, Reiki, homeopathy, colour therapy and many more. Some complementary treatments are covered by additional insurance, but you should check with your insurance provider to see which treatments are included in your policy. You don’t always need a referral from your family doctor to seek alternative medicine, but this will depend on your insurance company’s requirements. If you need assistance with anything relating to alternative medicine you can contact the Alternatieve Geneeswijzen Infolijn (088 242 42 40, www.infolijn-ag.nl). This is a volunteer organisation that can help you find alternative therapists and organisations in your area. A wide range of alternative treatments like healing meditation and aromatherapy are offered by various practitioners at the Aurora Holistic Center (421 19 87, www.aurora-holistic-center.nl) situated on the Prinsengracht in the city centre. Other options for relaxing and unwinding are Aromatique Amsterdam (624 00 44) and Classic Aromatherapy (668 41 30). Holistic treatments can also be found in Well-Being .
