Online Alternative Medicine Degree Programs
Alternative medicine is a broad category of healing and spirituality that adopts some of the core teachings of Eastern medicine and combines it with clinical research and Western health care. Herbology, Chinese medicine, massage therapy, yoga, physical therapy, meditation, naturopathy, and Reiki healing represent some of the more popular areas of study. Sufficient testimonials and scattered clinical data suggest that many of these branches effectively treat any number of medical conditions. But in the absence of controlled, rigorous examination, mainstream science has yet to embrace alternative medicine wholeheartedly. Even still, there are enough adherents (both practitioners and patients) to help alternative medicine continue to flourish as a substitute for or complement to Western medicine. In addition, alternative medicine's emphasis on preventive care and healthy living make it an attractive option to anyone who wants to avoid invasive procedures and prescription drugs. (cont)
