- Published by Omnigraphics, Inc.
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies play a key role in the health care of many Americans. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine reports that in the United States, about four in 10 adults and about one in nine children use some form of CAM. Complementary and Alternative Medicine Sourcebook, Fourth Edition provides updated information for people considering these therapies for general well being or specific health conditions. It discusses how to select a CAM practitioner, talk with a primary health care provider about using CAM, evaluate information on the internet, and pay for CAM therapies. It describes whole medical systems, such as Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, Native American medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, and naturopathy. It also talks about the safe use of dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals, and herbs. Information on biologically based therapies, mind body medicine, manipulative and body based therapies, and energy based therapies is also included. A glossary of related terms and a directory of additional resources provide additional help and information.
