 COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES
Acupuncture
It involves the insertion of small, thin
needles into the skin at particular points
on the body. By activating these specific
points, acupuncturists try to remove
blockages in the flow of one's life force
or vital energy, called qi.
Herbs and dietary supplements
These therapies may involve the use of herbs
such as echinacea, garlic, goldenseal,
chamomile, and Chinese herbs (for example,
astragalus). Health professionals may also
prescribe foods and vitamins as part of
biological therapy.
Massage Therapy
Massage involves a trained therapist
using their hands to physically manipulate
the soft tissues and muscles of the body.
There are a wide variety of massage
styles ranging from gentle caresses to a
deep muscle massage.
Mind and body techniques
These activities improve the mind's ability to
affect bodily functions and symptoms. Mind-
body techniques often include patient support
groups, prayer, and therapies that use creative
methods such as art, music, or dance.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy uses the use of essential oils to
improve emotional or physical health. These
oils are inhaled or rubbed into the skin and are
typically used to reduce pain, improve mood,
and promote relaxation.
