Want to learn more about alternative
medicine branches? Don't know the difference between
acupuncture and Shiatsu? This alternative medicine
glossary will help you a lot!
Osteopathy. According to alternative medicine
glossary, this is
a method of treatment which is based on manual techniques, in other
words special massage. This health alternative
medicine
origin is the USA. The main principles of this method are that a body
is a complete system, which can regulate all the processes in the
organism and revitalize it. But sometimes it is necessary to "help" our
organism to start to work. There are a lot of nerves in a backbone and
manual treatment with a diet help the patients to recover from injuries
and different disorders. As usual this medicine treatment is
appropriate for people who suffer from back pain, menstrual pain,
asthma, different pulmonary disorders.
But of course, there is alternative
medicine criticism,
concerning this type of treatment. First of all, a patient should find
only a professional doctor, because such manipulations with one's back
may be very harmful, because this therapy is rather painful and may
lead to jam of vertebral nerve.
Ayurveda. This is ancient therapy which is based on
knowledge of
predecessors and their theories concerning life. Ayurveda can be
translated as "knowledge of life". Nowadays the most people of
India, Sri Lanka and Nepal use this knowledge in their daily life. The
main principles of this system is that a body can be healthy when there
is a balance between all its systems, which consist of Vata (air),
Pitta (fire) and Kapha (water). All tastes of food have influence on
our
body and the processes in it. It should be mentioned that Ayurveda is a
licensed practice in India, though the European countries don't
hasten to approve this alternative medicine as effective one. And even
assert that this alternative medicine can be harmful for a person,
because we don't get used to all these herbs and minerals. Though this
system really may help you to learn to live in harmony.
Reiki. This alternative medicine branch is based on
healing with
hands. Of course, not everyone can treat in such a way, only the
persons who have access to such energy and gained it through several
initiations. As usual, a patient should lie on a special table and an alternative
medicine doctor
starts placing his hands on recipient in different positions. A doctor
may even not touch a patient. All this last for 45 minutes or
so.
Thus a doctor restores the energy in the organism of a patient. But of
course, there are also several tips which are very important for
successful treatment. First of all, a patient should believe that this
alternative medicine help him. The other thing is his mental condition.
The secret is to follow several simple rules (or probably, they are not
so simple if you start to follow them). So, don't be angry, don't be
worried, be grateful, work hard in order to improve yourself and be
kind to others. But perhaps, these statements are true for every person
who wants to live a healthy and happy life.
