Complementary Medicine: Treatment & Therapies

 (See Editor's note and list of articles below)
In the world of "improving our health and of getting well when we are ill" there are lots of treatments, techniques and therapies on offer. Many of them have a long history, as over the centuries several wholistic systems of medicine have developed in different parts of the world. These include Chinese Medicine, Tibetan Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Western Naturopathic Medicine, Middle Eastern Medicine, and Aboriginal Medicines from most continents. They have survived and thrive because they are very effective and because they address wider health concerns than merely the removal of immediate symptoms.
In the last few hundred years modern medicine has developed, and is now largely oriented around drugs and surgery. It saves many lives every day in emergency situations that arise from both accidents and from the cumulative effects of a lifetime of daily choices that do not support health. During this time there have also been many developments and improvements in the older and traditional systems of medicine, based on new research, experience with modern stress factors and the application of new technologies.
In this section you can get essential information on a wide range of treatments and therapies. They are all written by Health Professionals who use them in their daily practice.
(Editor) The two articles that are at the top of the list just below here are a collection of the views and experience of the individual members of the Health Team, and a summary of just what Complementary Medicine sets out to achieve. They make a strong statement about the scope of Complementary Medicine and its place alongside emergency medicine. I recommend that you read them carefully before you start reading about the Treatments and Therapies, and also that you click on About Us and read about our reasons for creating this Site. My team have more experience than I can easily describe and their experience comes through in all of the articles on the Site. The best alternatives to drugs and surgery in non-life threatening situations have a much longer history than drugs and surgery and are now so effective that, even if you have doubts, you would probably be wise to consider the ways that you can improve your longterm health by adjusting both your habits and your choices of what you reach for when you feel unwell.
