Alternative Medicine

Ask a Question

Alternative medicine refers to all health and wellness practices that take a holistic, non-drugs-oriented, and non-invasive approach. Among the most common practices are acupressure, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, chiropractics, and massage therapy. The career field is growing as these healing systems move into the mainstream: an estimated 40 percent of Americans now use some form of alternative medicine.
