There are numerous books that have been written on the topic of
alternative care. Many deal with herbalism, homeopathy,
chiropractic medicine, aromatherapy, ayurvedic medicine, etc. Here
is a short list of some good reference materials and also books
that could provide in depth information on the individual
practices of alternative medicine.
Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide,
compiled by Burton Goldberg Group - This is an excellent reference
book to both patients and healthcare providers that gives
information on 43 different alternative therapies from acupuncture
to yoga. In each of these sections is an explanation of the
principles of the alternative therapy, how it works, listed
typical treatments and addresses and phone numbers of associations
that could provide help in finding qualified practitioners or
other information. The rest of the book lists health conditions,
such as arthritis or gastrointestinal disorders, and gives
information on types, causes, and treatments using various
alternative medicine therapies. The therapies listed are broken
down into two categories: self-care and professional care. The
second one states that the therapy should only be provided by a
qualified health professional. This reference lists organizations
that could guide the patient to a qualified practitioner in their
area.
