INTRODUCTION
Herbal medicine is the study of pharmacognosy and the use of medicinal plants.
Plants have been the basis for medical treatments through most of human history, and
such traditional medicine is still widely practiced today.
Herbal medicine includes preparations of biologically active natural products that consist
largely of herbs or herbal materials.
Herbal medicine is also called "herbalism" or "phytomedicine".
HISTORY
Plants had been used for medicinal purposes long before recorded history.
In the early 19th century, scientists began to extract and modify the active
ingredients from the plants.
Recently, WHO estimated that 80% of people worldwide rely on herbal
medicines for some part of their primary health care.
Some ancient cultures wrote about plants and their medical uses in books
called herbals.
MODERN HERBAL
MEDICINE
Many of the pharmaceuticals currently available to
physicians have a long history of use herbal remedies,
including opium, aspirin, digitalis and quinine.
According to WHO, approximately 25% of modern drugs
used in the USA have been derived from plants.
At least 7,000 medical compounds in the modern
pharmacopoeia are derived from plants.

USES AND BENEFITS
Following are some commonly used
herbal medicines:

control vomiting during chemotherapy.
2) Garlic (cloves, roots):

Herbal medicines can be mistakenly thought to be completely safe because they are natural products.
This is not correct.
Herbal medicines may produce negative effects such as allergic reactions, rashes, asthma, headaches,
nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that can range from mild to severe.
Herbal medicines can cause kidney failure and liver damage in some consumers because they contain
toxic chemicals or heavy metals, or react harmfully with other drugs, a study has found.

Alternative medicine
Alternative medicine is the term for medical products and practices that are not
part of standard care. ... Examples of alternative practices include homeopathy,
traditional medicine, chiropractic, and acupuncture.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn,
releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes
may stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional
well-being
Process
Yang meridian is a network of interconnected vessels connecting every part of the body
and influencing their activities. This system provides a guide particularly to clinical
acupuncture.
Qi is said to flow through meridians, or pathways, in the human body. These meridians
and energy flows are accessible through 350 acupuncture points in the body. Inserting
needles into these points with appropriate combinations is said to bring the energy flow
back into proper balance.
Process
The Yang Ming meridian can be used for needle insertions. Through clinical
observations, changes in the skin or tissues can present itself according to the
corresponding organic function. For example, with lung disease, tenderness or nodules
may be palpated at point Feishu (UB 13-at level T3).
Uses
Locomotor disorders
Respiratory disorders
Cardiovascular disorders
Mental disturbances
Neurological disorders
Disorders of sensory organs
Pros/Cons
Acupressure is a manual therapy technique that is used to relieve pain and muscle
tension.
Acupressure is performed using fingers gradually pressing onto key points around the
body to simulate pain relief and muscle relaxation. The acupressure technique is used
on trigger points within muscles and soft tissues.
Process
Acupressure practitioners use their fingers, palms, elbows or feet, or special devices to
apply pressure to acupoints on the body's meridians. Sometimes, acupressure also
involves stretching or acupressure massage.
It is based on the concept of life energy which flows through meridians in the body.
In treatment physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points or trigger points with the
aim of clearing blockage in these meridians.
Uses
After surgery
During spinal anesthesia
After chemotherapy
From motion sickness
Related to pregnancy
Pros/Cons
This technique is beneficial to some extent in managing Cancer related pain, menstrual
cramps, backpain and other conditions.
After an acupressure session the individual may feel soreness or burning sensation at
the area of application. This can be problematic for some individuals.
Worth
Acupressure and acupuncture therapies are still in their infancy regarding scientific
backup and proof. Some medical practitioners refer to these techniques as quackery or
illogical. However, reported evidence points towards the effectiveness of these
techniques. More research is required to bring these techniques out of the cloak of
ineffectiveness and among the orthodox alternative medicine practice.

REFLEXOLOGY
Literal meaning
Reflex ; is response to stimulus logos ; is the study of
“The scientific study of reflex action as it affects behaviour.”
Definition
Reflexology, also known as zone therapy, is a medical practice involving the
application of pressure to specific points on the feet and hands. This is done using
thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques without the use of oil or lotion.
ZONE THERAPY :
According to the philosophy of reflexology, all the organs, glands and parts of the body
have representing reflexes on the feet. Reflexologists claim that any health problems in
the body can usually be detected in the corresponding area of the foot. Reflexology
practitioners believe that by massaging or stimulating the reflexes using specific
techniques, there will be a direct effect on the corresponding organ.
Modern reflexology is based on the principle that the foot has ‘reflex’ points that
correspond to the various structures and organs throughout the body. For example, on the
left foot, the tip of the big toe corresponds to the brain’s left hemisphere.
REFLEXOLOGIST ??
There are approximately 7,000 nerve endings in the human foot and each of them is
a reflex point that corresponds to a body part. Reflexologists use special finger and
thumb manipulations to stimulate these reflex points and they know exactly which
area of the foot corresponds to which body part by learning the following
Reflexology chart.
BACKGROUND OF REFLEXOLOGY
Modern reflexology is based on an ancient form of therapy.
There is evidence of some form of foot and hand therapy
being practised in China as long ago as 2330 B.C. and also
at the same time in Egypt, as depicted in the tomb of
Ankmahor.
A brief timeline
The Chinese classic, the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, which was
written around 1,000 BC, has a chapter on "Examining Foot Method" and is the
beginning of discussions in print about the connection of life force and points and areas
on the feet.
It is believed that Marco Polo translated a Chinese massage book into Italian in the
1300s, thus introducing reflexology and massage to Europe. In 1582, a book on an
integral element of reflexology called zone therapy was first published in Europe by
Dr. Adamus and Dr. A'tatis.
In the United States, William H. Fitzgerald, MD, who is frequently referred to as the
father of reflexology, wrote in 1917 about ten vertical zones that extended the length of
the body. He found that the application of pressure to a zone that corresponded to the
location of an injury could serve as relief of pain during minor surgeries.
Dr. Fitzgerald's work was expanded by Dr. Shelby Riley, who developed a map of
horizontal zones going across the body and a detailed map of reflex points on the feet
and hands. He also suggested pressure points on the outer ear.
Eunice Ingham, a physiotherapist who worked for Dr. Riley, is another prominent
figure in the development of reflexology. In her research with zone therapy's pressure
points, she found the feet to be the most sensitive and responsive. She developed the
foot maps and reflexology charts still in use today and introduced reflexology practices
to the non-medical community in the 1930s.
In 1957, Dr. Paul Nogier recorded a reflex map of points on the outer ear. His work has
been expanded by Oleson and Flocco and is now being taught as part of an integrated
approach to hand, ear and foot reflexology.
What is foot reflexology?
Reflexology is a treatment based on the principle that there are areas and points on the
feet, hands, and ears that are connected through the nervous system to corresponding parts
of the body. When pressure is applied to these areas and points it stimulates the movement
of energy along the nerve channels and helps to restore homeostasis balance in the body.
