Alternative Medicine Practitioners - A Viable Option?
People of the past few generations have come to rely more and more on their doctor and the traditional medicine practices he follows. Many of these same people are not aware that in any given diagnoses, they may have more options as to treatment than their doctor may recommend. Today, there are many alternative medicine practitioners who have dedicated their lives to giving people alternative treatment options. What is an alternative medicine practitioner? Generally speaking, an alternative medicine practitioner is a person, who may or may not be a medical doctor, which prescribes healing practices that do not fall within the realm of conventional medicinal practices. These men and women may not have gone to a university to study medicine, although many have. They often base their ideas on traditional or folk medicinal practices. Many seek to use nature, and the organic substances that are found therein, to the fullest in their medical practice. Others have spiritual reasons for seeking to use alternative medicine. The different options recommended by alternative medicine practitioners can sometimes be overwhelming. Many of these practitioners focus on certain ailments or disorders; specialists, as it were, in their own chosen field. Others, rather than focusing on a particular symptom or problem, try to improve the health of the body as a whole. There is a wide variety of treatment options presented by practitioners in the alternative medicine field. These include the use of herbs, acupuncture, naturopathy, chiropractic medicine, meditation, yoga, homeopathy, and nutritional-based therapies. Quite a few practitioners use several of these treatment options, based on the particular patient's needs. Many alternative medicine practitioners have experienced much success in their treatment of patients. Unfortunately, few have the opportunity to conduct large scale medical studies or clinical trials. Therefore, their work often remains largely unknown. Patients are usually referred to them by other satisfied patients. One may wonder why a person would chose to work in such a field, but to the vast majority of these alternative medicine practitioners, the work is its own reward. The ability to share their special knowledge of alternative medicine with needy people is what their life is all about.
