There are many scientific advances that have taken place in modern medicine most of which have phased out traditional practices. A number of alternative and complementary treatments are, however, still in use. These refer to therapies that are not evidence based. It constitutes a broad spectrum of therapies and practices not recognised by conventional medicine or certified medical schools worldwide. Common alternative healing modalities include acupuncture, homeopathy, naturopathy and chiropractic.
Naturopathy is a treatment that is based in the belief that many human processes are dependent on some form of special vital energy. This energy is responsible for processes such as digestion, reproduction, respiration and growth among others. This therapy has the advantage of not requiring the use of drugs or surgical techniques. A holistic rather than a systemic approach is adopted.
Another treatment that is in common use is known as homeopathy. It has been in existence on the European continent for many years. Homeopathy paradoxically believes that a sick person can be healed using a substance that would cause the same symptoms in a normal person. This approach is commonly known as the law of minimum dose. It is however in conflict with the basic laws of chemistry and physics.
Mind body therapies try to bring the body into communication with the mind by making the mind control functions of the body. Forms of mind body therapy are yoga, relaxation and spirituality. There are therapies that integrate the spirit with mind and body. Such include yoga, hypnotherapy, meditation, guided imagery and so forth.
The practice of yoga is built on the belief that life is like breath. It is something that you can breathe in through meditation, stretching and exercise. All these activities are said to improve the symptoms associated with various diseases. There is a close relationship between religious beliefs and yoga. The use of prayer and anointing to relieve physical or mental distress, are often incorporated into the practice. As a matter of fact, the practice is closely associated with the Eastern religions such as Jainism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism.
Many studies have sought to establish the effectiveness of these therapies as compared to conventional therapies. Unfortunately, no concrete evidence exists to support the claims that have been put forward by the proponents of these modalities. The popularity of these treatments is most likely due to the long term existence in many parts of the world which has led to the rise of a strong belief among those who use them.
Unlike conventional medicine, alternative medicine is not usually tested for potential adverse effects. The fact is, any treatment with biological activity is capable of causing undesired effect. Non medical practitioners however have their own claim that anything natural cannot be harmful. Homeopathy is the only non conventional healing modality that can be said to be safe from side effects. This is because they are regulated by food and drug administration in countries that practise it.
Potentially harmful drug interactions are likely to occur when using scientific medicine together with alternative healing modalities. This kind of combined therapy is seen in insulin potentiation, oxygen and ozone therapy and shark cartilage. Practitioners are therefore advised to take caution when employing complementary methods.
