Alternative Medicine


Alternative Medicines, Therapies and Remedies For Cures, Healing and Health Care. Alternative remedies and therapies to battle diseases and alleviate pain have existed as long as people have, but they weren\'t always considered \"alternative\". With the advent of modern medicine western society has attempted to marginalize and distance itself from folk medicine and many of these more holistic alternatives.

However, in recent years more and more people have begun to seek out and embrace these kinder, gentler and surprisingly effective treatments and practices. Western doctors have begun to accept and even tout the benefits of meditation, various forms of bodywork, and vitamin and herbal therapies.

There is an abundance of web-based resources on these forms of modern medicine. Many online resources feature materials on one or more forms of practice, such as biofeedback, homeopathy, fasting and cleansing, energy healing, acupuncture, aromatherapy, herbal, synergistic, Naturopathic and Ayurvedic medicine. Some sites function as virtual holistic medicine stores where customers can buy natural vitamins and nutritional supplements and alternative health-related books and software. This section presents online resources on alternative medicine and remedies.
