What Is Alternative Medicine?

Alternative medicine is any form of practice that is outside the realm of conventional Alternative Medicine: Definitions

modern medicine. It covers a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. Most of these treatments and health care practices are not taught widely in medical schools. Examples are naturopathy, chiropractic, ayurveda, homeopathy and acupuncture.

 

What is Complementary Medicine?

If alternative medicine or therapy is used alone or instead of conventional medicine, it is called "alternative" medicine. If the treatment or therapy is done along with or in addition to conventional medicine, it is referred to as "Complementary Medicine" as the two practices complements each other. For example, many Chinese hospitals use acupuncture to reduce the pain during the surgery instead of anesthetics. This is complementary medicine. Later, we refer to the use of sesame oil as a complementary treatment for cancer. Dean Ornish uses life style changes to combat heart disease. These are all examples of complementary medicine.

 

What is Holistic Medicine?

Holistic Medicine is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on personal accountability for one's health.  The belief that our bodies are remarkably resilient machines, capable, with some occasional prodding or intervention, of healing themselves.  Balancing the Body, mind, and "spirit" with the environment.   Holistic practitioners treat the "whole person" as opposed to the individual organs of the body where symptoms occur.  The

importance of self care and preventing illness are stressed by holistic practitioners.  Holistic medicine encompasses acupuncture, biofeedback, faith healing, folk medicine, meditation, megavitamin therapy, yoga and many more. At the root, all that is required is to BELIEVE.

 

What is Natural Medicine?

Any therapy or healing practice that relies on the body's own healing powers may be considered natural medicine. These include herbal remedies, diet and water therapies.
