The
Encyclopedia of Complementary
and Alternative Medicine
Tova
Navarra
This work provides a comprehensive source of definitions, explanations,
case studies, and perspectives on homeopathic therapies from ancient
times to the present. According to a Stanford University National
Survey, 69 percent of Americans have used non-conventional therapies
in recent years. Additionally, 60 percent of physicians have referred
patients to complementary care practitioners, and 64 percent of
medical schools offer training in alternative treatments. Includes
more than 400 entries, written for general readers but authoritative
enough to be of use to the professional. It provides detailed descriptions
of alternative practices, how they work, who developed them, anecdotal
evidence, and what to look for when seeking a professional. Appendixes
include a directory of organizations, a bibliography and sources
for further research, a list of herbs and supplements, and a timeline
of complementary and alternative therapies.
