In addition to this a number of charities offer similar complimentary therapies at no cost to the client, principally for the purpose of helping them to relax. The main opponents of this are the fundies who want to have everyone signed up for 'xtian counselling'...
The main danger is when people start proclaiming this as the only treatment rather than an addition to conventional treatment.
But it's not even a supplemenatry treatment, these woo woo new-age alternative 'medicines' are totally bunk beyond the placebo effect, and funding something with public money just because of the placebo effect doesn't really sound sensible to me.
