Holistic Healthcare cover

Here is an insightful compilation of contributions from scientists, healthcare experts, and doctors working actively to bring about wholesome healing to individuals, looking at cuttingedge holistic therapies. It includes chapters that deal with improving the general health of people from various walks of life, to treating some very challenging diseases. Various schools of treatments, exercise regimes, and meditations are discussed. Specific topics include the use of alternative therapy for human health and healing, including yoga, meditation, acupuncture, prayer, herbs, Ayurvedic treatment, and homoeopathy. The volume showcases some recent trends in treating various diseases that plague mankind, including superbugs, drug sideeffects, drug abuse, and myriad lifestyle-related diseases and syndromes.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will be sharing it with students and colleagues. I found it to be easy to read and an effective paradigm shift in understanding the limitations of research and epistemologies of health and healing. Western and mainstream approaches to care fail to take into consideration some of the most important elements in understanding how and why people heal...and how and why they don't. I thoroughly appreciate the authors' patient and methodical approach to shifting readers' thinking and opening their minds to new ways of viewing the body's ability to heal. I cannot think of another book that takes this approach to educating clinicians and the faculty who teach them."
