As people are turning to new ways to cure physical conditions, they are learning about exciting prospects for a better and longer recovery. In essence, they have found natural alternatives to prescription drugs. They are jubilant about the prospects of treatment without side effects and even death. They are rushing to understand and embrace holistic medicine in its many wonderful guises.
Alternative medicine can heal in ways that science does not fully understand. Thus, it is embraced widely when conventional medicine fails or does not appeal. Various approaches can cure illness and revitalize the spirit at the same time. The body often uses its own defense mechanisms to overcome adversity and restore well-being.
The work of modern drugs is well known, for good and ill. After all, much as happened in the wake of the discovery of the miracle drug penicillin. We have come to rely on science, even for nonscientific issues, but it does not address the mind body connection. There are great sources of information about the new world of healing. To help patients understand their treatments, it has classified well-known methodologies in a logical manner. It has organized what has been around for centuries, helping mankind find physical and mental stasis. It cannot, however, fathom the complexities of each program and the spiritual philosophies behind them. It has given us useful division of the larger subject. Among the largest medical systems are Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Traditional Chinese and Tibetan Medicine, and Native American ones.
This organization performs the service of classifying the various therapeutic alternatives into categories. It is a general system that helps patients understand their treatment methodology. We view it in a different way than centuries ago when they were first developed. Many are part of a larger philosophical/spiritual system you can enter as you receive treatment. It enriches the experiences and enhances the process. The categories commonly employed to describe alternative medical systems are: Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Traditional Chinese and Tibetan Medicine, and Native American ones.
You can also break treatment down into biological therapy, meaning that it is nature based in plants and herbs, or other natural supplements. When selected careful, these comestibles can improve immune function and resistance to disease. No wonder they are so popular in this day and age. Be wary of miracle cures however that have no basis in any tradition.
Then there are the many biologically-based approaches that depend on the use of herbs and plants as well as particular food supplements. They work to boost the immune system and the body's self-defense mechanisms. The hallmark of this treatment is a natural alternative to Western drugs although many have abused the popularity of the products with bogus miracle cures.
An interesting offshoot of alternative medicine involves mind-body interventions. Curing comes from the power of the mind and the chemical messages sent to areas of the body. Mind control takes practice, but it can be the impetus of a cure. The body is thus a natural independent healer. The therapist can stimulate various parts by touch for positive curative effect. Manipulative and body-based approaches are characteristic of massage therapy and chiropractic treatment.
Another way to enhance a self-cure is through body manipulation (such as chiropractic treatment) and massage. The benefits are pleasurable while the results are curative. External pressure on areas of the body can be a successful way to stimulate internal energies in preparation for a cure. Thus, it is clear that alternative medicine is vast in scope and filled with complexity. This simplification should, however, help those who are seeking a new medical Holy Grail. Thousands are jumping on the bandwagon and are openly attesting to a newfound efficacy.
