alternative medicine

Alternative medicine can mean any healing practice that is not covered by conventional medicine. The most common are naturopathy, chiropractic, herbalism, traditional Chinese medicine, meditation, yoga, biofeedback, hypnosis, homeopathy, acupuncture, Unai and Ayurveda.

The popularity of complementary and alternative medicine (known as CAM in medical circles) varies from country to country and from culture to culture. In Western countries, it is often used as a complimentary medicine in conjunction with or to complement conventional medical treatments and can be classified into five major groups: whole medical systems (including traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda); mind-body medicine; biologically based practices; manipulative and body based practices (including chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation); and bioelectromagnetic based therapies.

A massive world wide industry has grown up around alternative medicine in recent times and yet many of the herbs, plants, essential oils and methods used have their origins in past centuries and ancient civilizations.  Bloggers would keep busy for weeks investigating all the alternative medicines blogs available.  Try Dr. Brad at Revolution Health for his views on conventional and alternative medicine.
