Find information on alternative health services under this Yellow™ heading. Alternative therapy includes all those modalities and techniques of healthcare that are not provided by conventional allopathic practitioners. It is an all encompassing term for systems of medicine like ayurveda, acupuncture, homeopathy, reiki, etc.
There is a growing acceptance that health is more than just ‘the absence of disease’ and involves more than just the physical body. Alternative health services treat the individual holistically. Scientific research and public awareness are busy establishing that many alternative medical treatments are more effective, more economical, and less invasive and harmful than conventional medical treatments.
Massage therapy is one of the most recognised forms of alternative health. It has demonstrated healing powers for centuries but has never been considered a formal part of modern-day medicine. The therapy consists of applying pressure to various parts throughout the body to relieve stress. Another example of an alternative health remedy is herbal medicine.
