Acupuncture is one of the best known alternative practices; it originated in China more than two thousand years ago, and its methods diverged as it spread straight through Japan and Korea. It principally consists of sticking fine needles into certain points in the body, the so-called 'Acupuncture Points', in order to comfort pain or reduce symptoms of other ailments. In a former Chinese medicine convention this would maybe be done in conjunction with a former herbal treatment. There are many Irish practitioners, a large proportion of whom have developed their skills without having a background in former Chinese medicine culture, so how can a prospective outpatient be sure that they are receiving a grand service? The Acupuncture Council of Ireland, Tcmci Ltd, is an Independent expert Register of Acupuncturists in Ireland set up under the auspices of the division of health and Children. All its members are interviewed and their qualifications and guarnatee verified before becoming members of the Aci. Look for their logo on their literature.

Reflexology involves the stimulation, by applying pressure, of very exact zones of the hands, feet and ears. The different zones are reputed to be associated to other, very different parts of the body. The basal principle is that the manipulation of zones on the feet has a beneficial consequent on the qi, or power flow, of the individual. This in turn improves one's corporeal health. As with acupuncture, practitioners of reflexology have a national accreditation group, the National Register of Reflexologists (Ireland), or Nrri. The Nrri was established in 1998 as a expert body to regulate the convention of reflexology in Ireland straight through grand registered members and affiliated schools. The organisation is accredited as a expert regulatory body by Quinn-healthcare, Vhi Healthcare, and Aviva Health.

Similarly, Reiki induces a certain consequent on the qi, but in this discipline power is transferred from the healer to the outpatient straight through the palms of the Reiki master's hands. The hands do not touch the patient, but are placed over the body in places where the power will do most good. Reiki is not an ancient practice; it was developed in the early 1920s by a Japanese Buddhist monk named Mikao Usui. While there are many Reiki practitioners in Ireland, and any informal affiliations, there is currently no national recognised association regulating Reiki practitioners.

A Google crusade for Reiki practitioners in Ireland alone yields over 90,000 pages, so how can anyone get balanced data of the performance of one clinic against another? Knowing where to start looking for any alternative practitioner can be a daunting task, but one way to get precisely primary data is to ask person who has been straight through this process in the past. If person has used an acupuncture clinic and has had a certain experience, then they are likely to want to share that experience. That's where a retell site or a forum dealing specifically with alternative medicine comes into its own.
