Definitions of Complementary Medicine on the Web:

  • This usually refers to treatment approaches other than traditional Western modalities. Synonymous with "Alternative Medicine."
    www.thebody.com/hivnews/aidscare/dec97/pullout.html
  • The term complementary medicine is used by conventional medical practitioners to refer to non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical techniques which are used in conjunction with medical treatments such as drugs and surgery. The term implies that conventional medicine is used as a primary tool and the non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical techniques are used as a supplement when needed.
    www.dfwnetmall.com/health/glossaryhealthterms.htm
  • Practices often used to enhance or complement standard treatments. They generally are not recognized by the medical community as standard or conventional medical approaches. Complementary medicine may include dietary supplements, megadose vitamins, herbal preparations, special teas, acupuncture, massage therapy, magnet therapy, spiritual healing, and meditation.
    goldbamboo.com/glossary-1c-v1-u-all1.html
  • Also termed alternative or integrative medicine, means treatments outside of traditional allopathic (American medical school training) medicine practices. Many techniques involve techniques that supplement, but do not replace traditional medicine. These include acupuncture, biofeedback, therapeutic touch, hypnosis, biofeedback, reflexology, shiatsu, EMDR and others. Read about the UPMC Center for Integrative Medicine.

  • advocates of complementary therapies in medicine maintain that their therapies are not "alternative" but are a growing part of mainstream medicine.
    www.healingalt.com/glossary.htm
  • The use of natural and other alternative approaches which complement the practice of conventional medicine (old viewpoint) or the use of approaches which are complementary to the system's own innate healing processes (new viewpoint).
    www.tlccenter.com/glossary.ivnu
  • the science of combining one or more conventional treatments with one or more alternative treatments to aid in the healing process. For example, treatment for insomnia might include a medication in combination with relaxation therapy.
    www.sleepcompliance.com/html/glossary.htm
  • a term used to describe approaches to health care that are outside the realm of and are used along with conventional medical treatment. The key issue is whether the complimentary treatment interferes with the patient's conventional medical treatment. Examples are diet and herbal supplements, aroma therapy, and massage.
    cas.umkc.edu/psyc/motiv8/glossary.htm
  • This term is being used more and more within the naturopathic professions in preference to the term 'alternative' medicine to describe non orthodox medicine It is the term used by the Australian Government to describe non-orthodox medical practice The naturopathic profession today sees its role in complementing orthodox medicine and believes the term alternative can be quite misleading and cause confrontation. ...
    www.cma.asn.au/glossary.htm
  • the practice of medicine that combines traditional medicine with alternative medicine
    wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
  • Alternative medicine broadly describes methods and practices used in place of, or in addition to, conventional medical treatments. The precise scope of alternative medicine is a matter of some debate and depends to a great extent on the definition of "conventional medicine." Positions on the distinction between the two include those who reject the safety and efficacy of the other, and a number of positions in between.

What is Alternative Medicine?

Complementary Medicine (CM) includes many different techniques of treating a patient.  These are based on systems practised thousands of years ago and can in fact be considered to be of the original forms of medicine.  They all have one aspect in common which is that they treat the patient as a whole person rather than treating a specific symptom or symptoms. It does this by treating the life force of the patient  at their physical, mental and emotional levels.

Some people used to refer to CM as "Fringe" or  "Alternative" because they consider it to be alternative to the "Allopathic Medicine" that is practised by the General Medical Practitioners (G.P's). But CM complements the needs of the patient and is a more accurate description as this term describes the methods of healing  that treat the complete or whole person. Hence "Complementary Medicine" is the most appropriate title.

Below is a Glossary of some of the many disciplines within Complementary Medicine.:-

In alphabetical order:-

ACUPRESSURE
Using the Acupuncture points, pressure from the fingers is applied where appropriate.

ACUPUNCTURE
Fine needles are inserted into the body at meridians or energy centres. This ‘unblocks’ or regulates the CHI energy circulating the body, which in turn, stimulates the healing process. There is a mass of Chinese research but Western science does not yet accept the principle.

ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE
F.M.Alexander (1896-1955) was an Australian actor who lost his voice. He realigned his posture and found the voice returned. The Technique is to persuade the body to return to its normal position and so allow the brain to recognise and retain the realignment. The head and neck positioning are particularly important.

AMATSU MEDICINE
A 5000 year old natural Japanese system of Holistic Medicine using gentle physical therapy, soft tissue manipulation encouraging re-alignment of the spine or joints.

AQUA TOUCH
A whole body treatment given in water which has been developed by Patricia Morrell. See also Reflex Touch.

AURICULAR ACUPUNCTURE
The ear has a number of meridian points and can be used to effect the whole body. There has been some research using this method of treatment for drug addiction.

AYURVEDA
Ancient Indian system of medicine of preventative medicine and treatments which includes diet, yoga and meditation.

BACH FLOWERS
These formulae were developed by Dr Bach as an offshoot of homoeopathic medicine. The usefulness of this lies in the way the remedies can be effective treatment of mood swings and emotional conditions. The remedy for shock and other upsets is considered particularly helpful.

BATES METHOD
Exercises to improve muscle control of the eyes which were developed by Dr William Bates in the USA. The treatment follows the naturopathic idea of stimulating blood flow by the use of warm or cold water baths but, in this case, the eyes are splashed alternatively.

BIODYNAMIC MASSAGE
In common with all Complementary Medical treatments, the vital force is perceived to affect all the organs of the body. The link between the psyche and the physical was further developed by Gerda Boyesen in the Norwegian hospital service in the late 1960s. where she used massage to remove emotional trauma from organs of the body. She claimed to detect the variations in health by monitoring the fluid sounds through her stethoscope.

BIO-ENERGY THERAPY
Practitioners use the enhanced sensitivity of their hands to identify where energy is flowing and where it may be blocked. They then work to release any blockages and restore flow to the bio-energy field. This allows the body to kick start itself back to health.

BOWAN THERAPEUTIC TOUCH
Light touch used in certain sequences appears to release energy blockages. Probably based on the Chinese concept of CHI, Chapman’s reflexes and other healing techniques, this system is being shown to work although it is not yet fully understood.

CHELATION THERAPY
Cardiovascular treatment which uses ethylene diamine tetra acid (EDTA) as part of a naturopathic programme to help the removal blocked arteries.

CHIROPRACTIC
Manipulation of the spine and movement of the extremities attributed to D.D. Palmer about 1890. Chiropractors vary in their approach. Some give extended massage before treatment whilst others do not.

MACTIMONEY CHIROPRACTIC
The MacTimoney method is more subtle and is claimed to induce the natural healing process.

CHINESE MEDICINE
Has much in common with other Eastern systems and is the foundation of many techniques currently used in the West. Provides a comprehensive range of treatments for problems arising from imbalances at physical, mental, emotional and spiritual parts of the consciousness.

COLONIC HYDROTHERAPY
Warm water is pumped into the colon and the residues of fecal matter and other deposits can be cleared. The central point is that poisons and fecal matter are flushed out and replaced with beneficial bacteria. Best used in conjunction with nutritional advice.

COLOUR THERAPY
The benefits of coloured light on the skin is well known and the colour practitioner will diagnose and provide the appropriate coloured light to help bring back health and well-being.

There are other systems such as:

Detecting the colours in the energy field of the individual and providing the tints which will help achieve a return to the normal. This is often practised by healers with the gift of extended perception either by sight or touch.

Colour can be used in the choice of clothing and furnishing since they affect the mood and attitude of mind.

CRANIAL OSTEOPATHY
Developed by Dr William Sutherland in the 1930’s, as an extension of the ancient Chinese Tuina and Osteopathic techniques. The process appears to rely on the practitioner’s healing energies directed into the head and neck. Practitioners claim to feel a slight movement in the bones of the skull which sceptics claim is not possible.

CRYSTAL HEALING
Crystals transmit energy which are claimed to be able to tune to the bodies fluctuating vibrations. Crystals are chosen according to their energy and the needs of the patient.

CANDLES
Sometimes used to attempt to extract ear wax but this is not recommended

DOLPHIN THERAPY
Swimming with dolphins has shown that many patients have improved their quality of life and regained their physical energies.

FELDENKRAIS
Enables the person to recognise the relationship between different areas of the body and breakdown any unhelpful movement patterns which are causing distress. Moshe Feldenkrais was an Israeli judo expert who devised the sequences of movement.

FLOTATION
Floating in water in a darkened pool amount to sensory deprivation and this can trigger healing. The support of the water, which often contains Epsom salts, can rest injuries and help the patient to achieve good balance between the left and right cortex of the brain.

GEOPATHIC STRESS
The concept of energy patterns, which are created by the Earth, that can adversely affect the human body. Treatment is to move away from the offending energy pathways.

GERSON THERAPY
Dr Max Gerson devised this nutritional regime for cancer and other health conditions. The programme aims to re-energise the body’s own immune response.

 HEALING
The healing energy is part of every person and normally provides a repair and regeneration process for every injury and disease we get. Certain people are able to channel these energies to assist others who are ill and thus help to ‘jump start’ their own immune healing mechanism again.

HELLERWORK
Joseph Heller used deep tissue massage together with psychotherapy and postural re-alignment. A pupil of Dr Ida Rolf (Rolfing), Heller broke away from Rolfing because his technique also used counselling.

HERBAL MEDICINE
Herbs are used in both Eastern and Western medicine. The aim is to use all parts of the herb and particular emphasis in laid on the energetic content of the herbs and its ability to stimulate healing.

Thus the method of picking the herb and the time of day can affect the potency. The whole herb has a wider healing potential than the single active agent used by the pharmaceutical industry.

HOLISM
Generally regarded as a word from HOLOS – Greek for whole. In Complementary Medicine the whole is seen as more than the sum of the parts and describes treatments which are focussed on the physical, mental, emotions, vital force, Spirit and Soul.

HOMOEOPTHY
Hippocrates and Samual Hahnemann (1796) are credited with using the homoeopathic principle. This means treating the vital force to enable the body to re-energise it own repair mechanisms. The Homoeopathic remedy does not treat the presenting symptom but the body’s ability to heal itself with the result that prescriptions for the same named disease will probably be different in each case.

HYDROTHERAPY
Bathing in water has been used throughout history but the mineral baths which were opened during the nineteenth century in the UK and Europe claimed the most successful treatments.

HYPNOTHERAPY
This is not just hypnosis but a partnership between practitioner and patient which aims at defining the cause of the problem thereby helping the patient to overcome it in their own way and a time scale of their choice.

IRIDOLOGY
Diagnosis from the iris of the eye which are the exposed nerve endings which are seen as the coloured area. There is little reliable research but qualified practitioners appear able to make a significant contribution to helping the patient to understand those parts of the body which need attention.

KINESIOLOGY
The use of testing muscle strength to find products which disturb the patient’s well-being. Can be used to find which foods are most conducive to health and those which may cause unwanted symptoms. It is also used to find the appropriate natural medicine such as a homoeopathic remedy.

KOSMED
The Kosmed is the Russian trade name for an instrument which can be used to assess lowered energy levels or ‘blockages’ of parts of an energy pathway in the human body. The instrument will then transmit the appropriate energy to bring back balance and so allow the life energy to flow again. Can be used to reduce pain.

MASSAGE
See Swedish Massage and Sports Massage

MANIPULATIVE MEDICINE
Based on massage techniques and structural manipulation.

When used in the ancient Chinese way, the whole emphasis is on gentleness and encouraging the muscles to relax before attempting to help to re-align the bones. Attempting to make adjustments before this relaxation has been completed can result in considerable pain and the change may well not be permanent. In these cases, many treatments will be required which is not the case when the preliminary work is correctly completed.

MUSIC THERAPY
Sound and music produce vibrations and these can have marked effects on the healing process.

NATUROPATHY
The Naturopath will have many different treatments to offer but all are based on the concept that the body will heal itself if given the right stimulus.

NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING
Looks at behavioural traits and bad habits. Treatment provides the patient with verbal instructions to reverse the trends.

NUTRITIONAL THERAPY
The diet can have dramatic influences on our health and well being. If we recognise that the body chemistry of each person is different, the need for different diets is apparent.

ORTHOMOLECULAR THERAPY
Developed by Nobel Prize Winner Linus Pauling who postulated that provided one has the correct level of vitamin, mineral and nutritional input, the body can overcome disease.

OSTEOPATHY
Structure governs function is the tenet of osteopathy. Andrew Taylor Still is given credit for initiating the system at the end of the American Civil War but there is much in common with Chiropractic and the Eastern techniques of ensuring that the skeleton is in correct alignment so that nerves are not pinched.

OXYGEN THERAPY
Forms of oxygen (ozone) have been used in many contexts from water purification to a disinfectant in the bottling industry. As a treatment, it has been recognised that harmful bacteria and viruses can only live in a low oxygen environment. Treatments vary from sitting in a ‘steam’ bath and being surrounded by ozone to treating the blood by passing ozone through it and clearing impurities. Dr Otto Warburg proved that cancer cannot live in a high oxygen environment.

PILATES
Specific exercises to correct the posture first developed by Joseph Pilates in the USA. Now available in the UK.

POLARITY THERAPY
Healing system having much on common with ayurveda. Developed in Austria by Randolph Stone in the 1920s, the idea is that parts of the body have a positive charge whilst others are negatively charged. Treatments consist bring the body into ‘balance’ by using counselling, healing, exercise and nutrition.

PRANIC HEALING
Prana is the Sanskrit word for ‘life force’. The traditional healer interacts with the patient’s aura or energy field to allow and interaction of healing energy to take place.

QI GONG
Part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Means energy practice and involves the transmission of the healing energy into the patient.

RADIONICS
Dr Albert Abrams and Ruth Drown were among those who developed Radionics on the premise that disease produces its own unique energy vibration. The Radionic instrument is used to focus the healers mind on the relevant vibration so that healing can be transmitted.

REFLEXOLOGY
The principle is that all the organs in the body are reflected on the foot or hand. By pressing the relevant point, healing can be transferred to the particular area in need. Original practitioners thought that crystal of lactic acid which caused sensitivity must be crushed to enable healing to take place. The pain was often considerable and this process has been superseded with more gentle methods.

REFLEX TOUCH
This is a development associated with Patricia Morrell who achieved success with her methods of diagnosis and light touch (Morrell Reflexology) which have been further refined.

REIKI
A Japanese healing discipline developed by Mikao Usui. The principles are similar to most other healing techniques except that the system follows a pre-determined set of hand positions which form the basis for each treatment. The system replies on the development of the students ability to transfer the healing energy and this may take considerable time. Some courses offer a mastership in three weekends.

ROLFING

What is Healing ?

QUOTE: "The cure of the part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole. No attempt should be made to cure the body without the soul. Let no one persuade you to cure the head until he has first given you his soul to be cured, for this is the great error of our day, that physicians first separate the soul from the body." PLATO

"Complementary" means to "complete". Patients are helped back to "wholeness" using physical, mental, emotional, vital force and spiritual dimensions of treatment. This approach remains generally in line with the thinking of Plato.

"Wholeness" means that the physical, mental, emotional and vital force are all in balance between themselves and with the spiritual consciousness known as the Soul.. The body is, or should be, an expression of the Soul. Healing is the natural way in which all imbalances are rectified so that the symptoms of the stress or illness can be controlled. Sometimes our own natural ability to heal ourselves cannot cope so we need the help of others. Drugs may help in the short term but healing happens separately and this is why it is important to understand the process so that patients can help themselves back to health.

Healing is the act of getting rid of all the imbalances and creating harmony with the Soul. Consequently, Complementary Medicine is patient centred.

"I AM NOT MY BODY - I LIVE IN MY BODY."

Plato's quote (above) still embodies the best explanation of why the split has occurred between current orthodox medicine and the traditional or complementary approaches. But this does not explain the reality and, if you would like to reason out the problem, the following examples may help.

This is another way of expressing Plato's vision. The physical body is ultimately controlled by the mind and Soul consciousness. During our lifetime on Earth, our computer like brain is programmed by every experience we have so that we react to external forces like threats, anger, danger or beauty, compassion and love. Each reaction of the mind has a direct influence on the physical body which responds in the way it has been programmed. Sometimes that programming is wrong which prevents the body's defence mechanism from functioning correctly This allows illness and disease to get a foothold.

Perhaps the best example to explain this is to compare the motor car and driver with the human body.

A car has a framework which includes all the working parts plus seats for the passenger and a place for baggage. The driver decides what route, speed and direction is going to be taken. A car needs petrol for the engine, sparking plugs to ignite the fuel and a battery to spark the plugs. It is the driver who acts to avoid accidents and decides when the car needs servicing. It is the driver who must decide what fuel to use since putting ordinary fuel in a car which is programmed for unleaded will cause breakdown. Without any or all of these working parts the car will not go. Thus the driver has the overall responsibility of seeing the car is maintained and driven both safely and correctly

The ancients viewed humans as being constructed in much the same way. The physical part of us is represented by the car while the driver is considered as the vital force (car battery) and the spirit (Soul consciousness which decides motivation, direction and ethics). The old traditional systems of medicine accepted the vital force and spirit and treatments were for the healing energies which touched both the vitality and Soul to bring them back into harmony with the physical body.

Again, using the example of the car, we can begin to see the importance of correct thinking, motivation and nourishment as being means to maintaining health in the fullest sense. Healing is the equivalent of "jump starting" the vital force similar to coping with a flat battery. But healing also helps the patient to recognise past problems and re-programme themselves towards health and well-being.

The Healing Process

Complementary Medicine is a system of medicine which treats the physical, mental, emotional and vitality of the patient together with the spirit. This central view runs through a variety of disciplines which traditionally work towards the same goal where harmony between all levels of consciousness including the vital force and spirit must be achieved if true healing is to happen..

Healing the whole person has traditionally been seen as part of a co-ordinated programme of treatment. However, the scientific approach has tended to separate the treatment of the symptoms from treatment of the cause. Science does not recognise the common factor which unites all traditional medical approaches i.e. the vitality or spirit of the patient. Vital force and spirit can be equated with Chi in Chinese Medicine, Shakti in Indian Medicine, Vital Force in Homoeopathy, etc.

The Healing Mechanism

This is difficult to evaluate. Healers channel this energy to the patient. The process begins with a sense of compassion felt by the healer for the one in distress. Mothers feel this sense for their children and "kiss the hurt better" or gently "stroke" the pain away. Every aspects of the mother's thought, physical. mental, emotional and spiritual energy is concentrated on helping her child to over come the pain. In terms of healing energy, the mother's vital force and spiritual senses are focused on helping the child to regain its balance and overcome distress.

Does the healer try to heal the symptom or seek to help the patient come to terms with the cause of the problem ? It is not always easy to establish the primary need. In an ideal world both conditions need help and this is why the healers prayer is usually on the following lines - "May this patient receive the healing that they need." In this way, the appropriate energies are drawn from the healer in such a way as to begin the process of regaining the overall balance between all levels of consciousness. The process is not usually very fast and the healer will need to help the patient to realise that as it probably took a considerable time for the illness to develop so it will take time for the body to remove it.

The Attitude of the Patient

The way the patient views their problem is crucial and every attempt must be made to ensure that a balance between accepting the nature of the problem is balanced with expecting healing to occur.

This is especially important if the condition is life threatening. There is a need to remain quietly confident that the healing processes will stimulate both the body's immune response and the determination to change, remain uppermost in the patient's mind. Recognising the possible cause of the illness is useful where it is possible to change but it must be recognised that dwelling on past mistakes can inhibit the healing. It is better to look at today as the first one of the rest of your life. By living in the present, it is possible to focus on a programme of healing which will build for the future and automatically remove problems from the past at a pace which the patient can manage without adding additional trauma.

Working with Healers

There is a tendency for the public to think of healers as ordinary folk who have a natural gift. This gift can be from God, Nature or the Universe according to the individual belief and they give their services by the laying on of hands or prayer. Healing is certainly a gift which can be used by everyone but it is also a central part of all the ancient traditional medical treatments.

Healing energy is central to all those practitioners in Complementary Medicine. Homoeopathy, osteopathy, chiropractic, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, acupuncture and the other systems listed by the Institute for Complementary Medicine, the practitioner to diagnoses and heals at all levels of consciousness. However, it is a fact that many have tried to remove the concept of healing energy from the training and focus on a more simple and symptomatic approach. Osteopathy is an example where a partially qualified practitioner may only be concerned with the structure of the body and pay little attention to the mental, emotional and spiritual health of the person. In these cases, a complete removal of the symptoms may not be easy to achieve. Joints may be realigned but the change is often not permanent because the cause has not been treated. The patient is always required to play a crucial part in their treatment but some cannot find the strength of purpose to make necessary changes in their life style and belief systems to allow healing to reach its full potential.
