Unlike allopathic, or traditional, medicine--which typically uses
drugs to control, mask, or eliminate the symptoms of an
ailment-alternative therapies target the symptoms at the root of a
problem. If you are a regular reader of New Life Journal, then you already
know that there's a wide selection of health care practitioners to
choose from: acupuncturists, massage therapists, chiropractors,
naturopaths, homeopaths, herbalists, allopathic (western medical)
doctors, psychologists, Reiki practitioners, iridologists,
reflexologists, Ayurvedic practitioners, hypnotists, colon therapists,
aromatherapists, taiji, qigong, Pilates and yoga teachers, to name a
few. Previous studies have used the allopathic health care system as
their point of entry to study the Mexican American population. |
