Handbook Of Complementary And Alternative Medicine - 9781632428585

Complementary medicine refers to the use of alternative medicine with functional medical treatment, for the purpose of improving the treatment effects. Alternative medicine involves the use of such practices, which are unproven to relieve the pain or to achieve other healing effects of medicine. Naturopathy and homeopathy are two of the most common forms of alternative medicine. Naturopathy is a natural and non-invasive therapeutic treatment method based on the belief that the body heals on its own by using a vital energy, which guides the bodily processes. The belief, that the substances, which cause the symptoms of a disease in healthy people, cure similar symptoms in sick people, forms the roots of homeopathy. The various advancements in complementary and alternative medicine are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail in this book. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on alternative practices have been included in it. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
