About this title

Synopsis

Alternative healing provides one of the most thorough introductions available to a wide variety of modern nontraditional medicine and healing practices. This completely updated, revised and expanded edition takes the mystery out of more that 150 different healing modalities by supplying clear, responsible, and practical information on each therapy, including its background, history, founders, common uses, terms, types of practitioners and goals. You will find such therapies as Acupuncture, Aromatherapy, Guided Imagery, Herbal Medicine, Hydrotherapy, Past Lives Therapy, Rolfing, Shiatsu, and many more.
This comprehensive guide also offers a valuable appendix that matches more than 100 health concerns with the five most widely used therapies for each and an extensive list of resources and organizations, a glossary, a listing of appellations, and a bibliography.

From Library Journal

This work describes over 160 therapies in a thorough, consistent manner, making no exaggerated claims. Everything is here, including some treatment modalities that are not very "alternative," such as walking, physical therapy, and aerobics. The detailed histories of how various therapies were discovered can be hard to find elsewhere. Often the authors, a licensed acupuncturist and a writer, don't take a stand on the efficacy of a specific treatment (e.g., urine therapy) but recommend sources for more information. The only drawback is the absence of complete citations in the bibliography. Useful as a ready reference, this book can also be read front to back; highly recommended for academic and public libraries.
