Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Older Adults: Holistic Approaches to Healthy Aging

Description

The field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is expected to grow tremendously in the next few years. In addition to an increase in the general population, the baby-boomer generation is quickly entering retirement and will likely take advantage of CAM increasingly as it ages.
Although CAM research as applied to aging is just beginning and health professionals receive no special training in CAM and aging, the United States population still continues to employ it. For diagnoses that accompany aging such as cancer, neurological diseases, psychiatric disorders, and physical disabilities, CAM has often been used in addition to or in place of unsuccessful conventional methods of treatment.
This new and up-to-the-minute compendium of reliable and authoritative information on complementary and alternative therapies seeks to provide information that older adults may use as they seek to improve their health and quality of life. Covering dietary means; physical, mental, and spiritual methods of treatment; and various types of therapies, this handbook is the most comprehensive and up-to-date resource on complementary and alternative medicine available today.
Each chapter or article includes:
Brief definition of modality
Anecdotal reports of usefulness
Discussion of scientific evidence for and against modality
List of resources that reader can use to find further information
Examples of therapies covered include:
Art & Music
Massage
Acupuncture
Meditation
Homeopathy
Ayurveda
Aromatherapy
