Complementary Health
Complementary health is a more holistic
approach to health-care. There are many different facets to this type of
approach. Many people in the Western world use these approaches along
with Western medical care to help cut back on negative side effects from
man-made medications and even to help prevent issues from becoming
worse.
Alternative Treatments
The most common forms of complementary
health-care would include acupuncture, chiropractic care, herbal
medicine, homeopathy, and osteopathy. Acupuncture is gaining more ground
as time goes on and has been a form of ancient eastern medical methods
for thousands of years. It has been noticed on the battlegrounds of
China that being hit in certain pressure points by arrows or stones had
relieved pain that had plagued particular warriors for years.
Eventually, acupuncturists learned that they could work with the
patient’s energies to help make them feel better.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is just one of the options
when it comes to alternative therapies as it helps to relieve pain and
center one’s chi. It is a simple solution without having to add man made
drugs to one’s system. It has helped a lot of people that suffer from
chronic pain and even circumstantial pain. By helping to cut back on the
pain, they have no need for pain medication.
Herbal Remedies
Natural remedies, or herbal remedies as
many know them as, are often times used along with the acupuncture to
help with healthy herbs that have been proven to help with specified
treatments. This is after the acupuncturist has done a detailed
examination of your physical and mental health by looking your body over
and asking questions about what your issues may be. Like Western
medical doctors, they can then formulate a course of treatments that are
suitable to whatever ails you.
Homeopathy
Homeopathic remedies are a part of
complementary medicine. They fall under the category of the herbal
remedies. This is when medications that are made from natural
ingredients are given to the patient. There are remedies for all sorts
of problems from mental to physical. If someone is high stressed, they
can provide drops or “pills” to help aid them in calming down. If
someone has a cold, they can acquire a remedy that has herbs such as
echinacea to help cut the cold by a few days and even help build your
immune system.
By being provided alternative medicine,
it helps to make sure that you know what is going into your or your
loved one’s body when it is time to take it. The ingredients are almost
always very basic and known herbs and plants that are used. They have
been proven over thousands of years to be beneficial.
Complementary Therapy
Complementary therapies are often used
alongside Western medicine, much like was stated above. This is
especially common with cancer patients that would like to cut back on
pain medications and other related drugs. It can aid in natural healing.
There is even alternative medicine out there that can help with dealing
with the side effects of chemotherapy.
