Summary: "Complementary medicine refers to the use of alternative medicine with functional medical treatment, for the purpose of improving the effects of the treatment. Alternative medicine involves the use of such practices, which are not proven to relieve the pain or to achieve other healing effects of medicine. Naturopathy and homeopathy are the two most common forms of alternative medicine. Naturopathy is a natural and non-invasive therapeutic treatment method based on the belief that the body heals itself 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. Some other common complementary and alternative medicine practices include ayurveda, chiropractic, traditional Chinese medicine, reiki, etc. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of complementary and alternative medicine which will be crucial for the readers and medical practitioners. It unravels the recent studies in the area of complementary and alternative medicine. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book"-- Provided by publisher.
