Meditation

[anagogy]

It's true that in our society we are in general too much dependant on medical doctors but in some cases going to a doctor can be the best thing to do.

I think a combination of modern and alternative medicine approaches yields the best results.  Care for the self should proceed forth beginning with the most subtle levels and proceed outwards to the more gross levels of being.  Start with our minds and work our way out to the bodies, excluding emergency situations of course where there is no time for refined care.
