Complementary medicine is
becoming a hugely popular alternative to
orthodox medicine. Complementary medicine
gets its name through being a medicine
that complements the body and mind. Patients
are often disillusioned about the drugs
they are being prescribed because even
though it will cure their ailment, they
often have to suffer side effects. They
are creating more health issues to get
rid of one.
Complementary medicine can
work in harmony with the body and mind
curing the illness without creating further
problems through side effects. Side effects
are obviously distressing for the patient
and it is emphasized that the mind is
as important in the healing process as
the body; therefore if the mind is well
then it will improve the state of the body.
Explaining the success rate in complementary
medicine. The mind being distressed will
very likely slow down the healing process
of the body.
The doctor can help determine
the state of the patient in mind and
body to prescribe the necessary complementary
medicine returning to the traditional
doctor patient relationships rather than
the simple prescription of drugs.
