What is the difference between alternative medicine, complementary medicine and other medicine?

Alternative medicine is any treatment that isn’t considered standard by mainstream medical practitioners but which has been shown to have benefits for some conditions. These include homeopathy, acupuncture, aromatherapy and reflexology as well as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Ayurveda and naturopathy. Complementary medicines are therapies that can be used alongside traditional medicine. These include vitamins, minerals and herbs, as well as amino acids, enzymes and probiotics.

Both forms of medicine may be used. However, most conventional doctors will not recommend them due either to insufficient evidence nor safety concerns.

There isn’t consensus among health-care providers on the best way to incorporate CAM into patient treatment.

Many CAM practices are based upon theories that have been around for thousands of years. Some of these therapies may work, according to clinical trials that have been conducted over the last 20 years.

A number of studies suggest that acupuncture may be able to relieve pain. Similar to chemotherapy, preliminary data suggest that acupuncture can reduce nausea or vomiting. Some studies have shown that acupuncture may be beneficial for irritable bowel syndrome (FBS), fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple Sclerosis, migraines, tension headaches as well as anxiety and depression.

Some CAM therapies may also be effective in the treatment of diseases like HIV/AIDS/Asthma, diabetes, heart disease (hypertension), Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, as well as rheumatoid.

While there are still questions about the effectiveness of CAM in treating different ailments, most experts agree it is possible.

People are turning to CAM practitioners more often for relief from common diseases.

Despite this growing popularity, many people remain confused about what exactly constitutes “alternative” or “complementary” medicine.

How To

How do I deal with my girlfriend who trusts alternative medicine?

The internet offers guidance for those caring for a loved one with a mental illness. However, there is very little information on alternative medicine and how to deal with them.

It appears that there is a large divide between the two groups. Both those who have doubts about traditional medicine and those who see the benefits.

What happens if someone you know believes in alternative therapies for mental health issues.

Because you don’t know the right way to respond, you might feel confused or frustrated. What do you tell your partner if he says he would rather go to an acupuncturist than his doctor? Or when she says she’d rather eat gluten free than take antidepressants.

Asking questions is crucial. It could save you lots of heartache later.

But how do you ask these difficult questions without offending him? What if he says that he doesn’t trust doctors? Tell him that he should not trust anyone.

Or, what if she tells you that she believes antidepressants don’t work? Do you need to tell her that she’s wrong

This is where the conversation becomes tricky. It can cause further irritation if you point it out that she is wrong.

You could also suggest she see a psychiatrist. This may cause more problems than it solves. This could cause her to be upset at you. She might think you are trying to control her mind.

So what are you supposed to do?
