Specifically, this article addresses the unique meaning of emotional wellbeing, self healing strategies used by participants, and identifies the relationship to professional practice. The findings revealed that the notion of emotional wellbeing whilst complex was explicitly linked to the iritertwining of their personal and professional experiences and situations.

Currently randomised controlled trials are viewed as gold-standard evidence. It is argued that while this emphasis on clinical trials may have much value, other forms of evidence, especially in the field of complementary medicine, such as traditional use and consumer choice, may be appropriate. The NHMRC's (1999) Guidelines for Clinical Practice indicates that a range of evidence is acceptable in the creation and application of evidence based medicine.
