Summary In this comprehensive and user-friendly volume, Dr. Barrie Cassileth covers over fifty alternative and complementary therapies. This book has no hidden agenda. Rather, it shows you how to evaluate everything from Ayurveda, flower remedies, chiropractic, and enzyme therapy to homeopathy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, aromatherapy, naturopathy, and crystal healing. In clear, nontechnical language, the origins of each therapy are discussed, followed by the reasons practitioners say it works, the scientific evidence, and the places to go for treatment. Dr. Cassileth includes methods that might have no scientific basis but seem to work, and forthrightly warns against those that may be dangerous to your health
