Alternative medicine and complementary medicine are referred to as CAM in general. It is the abbreviation for complementary and alternative medicine and is the common name for medical and health treatments that are not traditionally included in the category of conventional medicine. Although complementary and alternative medicine are classified as the same category, The US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health distinguishes between the two by the following definition:
- Complementary medicine is defined as a non-traditional treatment to be used together with conventional medicine.
- Alternative medicine is defined as a non-traditional treatment to be used instead of conventional medicine.
What are some examples of alternative medicine?
Unlike conventional medicine that is a symptom-specific treatment and eliminates conditions and symptoms using drugs, surgery, or radiation, alternative medicine focuses on motivating the body’s ability to heal through herbal medication, energy stabilization, and other natural approaches.
Homoeopathy
Homoeopathy refers to a type of natural medicine that is accepted worldwide to treat chronic and acute conditions. It is based on the theory of “like relieves like” – by using substances that cause the specific symptoms to also remove them. Based on this theory, homoeopathic medicines are designed to help boost our healing ability in a gentle manner that rarely causes side effects.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine and is most commonly used to treat chronic pain, osteoarthritis, and respiratory disorders. Nowadays, it is also being used for overall health and stress management. By inserting needles into specific positions on the meridians, traditional Chinese medicine applies acupuncture to rebalance the energy flow (the chi) within our body. However, many western practitioners define acupuncture points as the stimulation of nerves, tissues, and muscles that improves the functions of our body in a natural healing process.
Herbal medicines
Herbal medicine, derived from various ancient cultures, is a type of natural medicine that uses plants to treat conditions and maintain general body health. It aims to readjust the body to a balanced state and to regain the ability to heal itself. Today, herbal medicines are used to treat chronic conditions and acute ailments, for example, cardiovascular condition, inflammation, and to maintain a strong immune system. Through years of research and development, people can now take herbal medicines not only from the whole herbs but also from the tea, syrup, essential oils, and tablets.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is a type of alternative modality that you can learn from your biofeedback therapist to take control of your body functions and to improve physical and mental health. It may also be used to manage symptoms of conditions and overall wellness. During the past few years, this technique developed and was promoted worldwide that we can now use biofeedback in clinics and for home use as well. The benefits of biofeedback are appealing to many people after they learn more about this technology. It is helping people to take control of their health, reducing the need for medications, and it is noninvasive.
Spooky2 Biofeedback Scan – let your body tell the truth
When running a Spooky2 Biofeedback scan, a frequency sweep is applied to your body. Just like telling lies to someone creates stress that can be easily picked up by a polygraph, our body reacts to frequencies just the same when performing a sweep. During the sweep, “stresses” may occur as a change in skin conductivity, heart rate, and electrical signal behaviours. Each reaction represents the frequency of a pathogen in your body or a useful healing frequency for you. These frequencies will be recorded accurately, and by the end of the sweep, you will have a list of frequencies. It is your Biofeedback scan result – the truth told by your body. You can then run the scan result in a Spooky2 Frequency Generator for treating conditions and holistic healing. Spooky2 Biofeedback Scan is a quick, precise and powerful tool that aims to help with your health problems effectively and safely. Also, it will guard you and your family against bacteria, condition, and pathogens with its thorough full-body healing programs.
