Complementary
Medicine is the use of natural therapy and medicines to restore and
maintain health in addition to conventional medicine. Dating back to
420 B.C., around the time of Hippocrates, complementary medicine is
also considered a practice beyond the realm of conventional modern
medicine - naturopathy, chiropractic, Ayurvedic, homeopathy,
acupuncture and so many other complementary medicine treatments are
steadily in demand and on the rise.
Because our bodies are composed of chemical and physical reactions,
holistic practitioners affirm that illness is not directly caused by
pathogens such as viruses or bacterium; instead is the consequence of
the body's reaction (in an effort to shield and heal itself) to a
pathogen. Naturopathic and holistic doctors assist potential clients
through complementary medicine by plainly alleviating symptoms of
disease. Complementary medicine can treat most conditions like
headaches, sore throats, flu and cold, indigestion, ear infections,
dermatitis, urinary tract infections, sprains and strains. Some chronic
conditions such as migraines, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular
disease, arthritis, cancer, muscle-skeletal pain, depression, stress,
and even pregnancy and childbirth may be treated with complementary
medicine as well.
Complementary medicine teaches proper nutrition in conjunction with
vitamin and mineral supplements. Plants and herbs are commonly used in
alternative medicine to treat illness, as well as remedies produced
from animals and minerals. Hydrotherapy and hypnotherapy are also
utilized in complmentary medicine for maximum benefits. All in all,
complementary medicine improves mental, emotional, and physical health.
It encourages psychic and spiritual growth, and an overwhelming sense
of wellness.
