Alternative/Complimentary/Holistic/Integrative Medicine in 2008
Alternative medicine is where laboratory science-based Western medicine, naturopathic, traditional folk and Eastern healing practices meet. The alternative medicine practice generally involves treating the entire patient, not just his physical symptoms.
Alternative medicine is the study and practice of assisting the
body to heal itself. Rather than subjecting patients to drugs and invasive
surgeries to root out diseases, alternative medicine looks for the root of the
problem. Alternative Healers look to remove blocks to natural physical healing and use bodywork, herbalists'
skills, holistic nutrition, and other non-invasive homeopathy techniques toward that end.
If you enrolled in an alternative medicine degree program you would
study:
* Anatomy and
physiology
* Herbalism
* Natural Health Practices
* Holistic
nutrition
* Naturopathy
* Aroma therapy
and similar subjects.
Alternative medicine is a health sciences
profession that many doctors are beginning to explore and integrate into their traditional western practice. Physicians are increasingly looking for employees with training in:
* Holistic Nutrition
* Herbalism
* Eastern medicine
* Counseling and Stress Management Techniques
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in health care is expected to increase 27 percent through 2014. Alternative medicine is a great way to get back to nature and become more harmonious with one's environment -while establishing a great career!
