The Parkinson's Disease Society recommends that people interested in trying complementary therapies should consult their doctor to ensure that the therapy is suitable for people with Parkinson's. This is particularly true of herbal medicines or any therapy involving the taking of vitamins, as some substances may interfere with Parkinson's medication.

It is also important to use a qualified complementary therapist. GP surgeries can often provide lists of local practitioners.
