Summary |
Featuring the latest medical breakthroughs in integrative medicine, Mayo Clinic The Complete Guide to Integrative Medicine examines what works when treating common ailments and what complementary techniques can be combined with conventional medicine to promote overall health. This compendium on healthy living from the trusted Mayo Clinic organisation combines two home health books into one must-have resource. Anyone looking to improve health in a safe, smart, innovative, and minimally-invasive way will want this guide. The book teaches what integrative medicine is-the medical movement to incorporate treatments that were once thought questionable but now are scientifically proven to work into everyday therapies, combining those alternative methods with traditional medicine to produce best results. The book offers a revolutionary approach to healing by highlighting ways that integrative medicine addresses not only the physical body but also the mind and spirit. With this trifold view of wellness in mind, the book covers topics like meditation, homeopathy, acupuncture, reflexology, herbs and supplements, and more, giving readers new solutions to their health issues. The book also teaches readers simple and effective remedies for common ailments like allergies, pink eye, psoriasis, and shin splints that can be applied at home with everyday items or over-the-counter products to help treat conditions until they are resolved or until readers visit a doctor. Readers learn how to safely and knowledgably combat certainly illnesses without prescriptions, also being alerted to when a doctor's appointment is necessary. Information on applying first aid is also given, preparing readers to appropriately respond in emergencies. Over 100 four-colour photographs illustrate and augment the text to make the factual content engaging and easy to understand. Moreover, a "red light, green light" rating system for evaluating treatments is shown, indicating at a glance how cautiously readers should proceed with a given therapy. |
