Most of the time we feel well. We can play sports, go to work and enjoy our lives. But sometimes we just don't feel well.
The NHS has sent everybody in Britain a Self-Help Guide. This will help you diagnose what is wrong and find the best treatment. It covers things like headaches, coughs and colds, having a temperature or a stomach ache. For many people it could be all they need.
For accidents or emergencies, you should go to a hospital which has got a specific Accident and Emergencies department.
Doctors and medical staff can cure lots of illnesses now using surgery and treatment with drugs.
But many people prefer alternative medicine. This can include many kinds of treatment using both very old and very modern techniques.One of the most common alternative treatments is the use of Chinese herbs - these are completely natural medicine.
Acupuncture - a Chinese technique using needles placed carefully in the body, is also popular.
Osteopathy - where the doctor manipulates bones and muscles, is another popular treatment.
