Basic health insurance reimburses benefits for the following five disciplines only if provided by a doctor whose training is recognised by the Swiss Medical Association (FMH): acupuncture, homeopathy, anthroposophic medicine, phytotherapy (herbal medicine) and Chinese medicine.
If you want coverage for other types of alternative medicine and have the freedom to be treated by a therapist, you will need supplemental insurance.
