Many people are looking for ways to escape the stress of everyday life, and complementary alternative medicine is often the relief they find. Many of these methods date to prehistorical times, as remains of people who have used medicinal herbs to try and improve their condition have been found in the Italian Alps. Ayurvedic medicine, which focused on balancing the body, mind, and spirit, originated in India over 2000 years ago.

Other types of healing include meditation, massage, reiki, pranic healing, pilates, and more. Holistic nutrition training can also be considered complementary alternative medicine. Holistic medicine refers to healing that addresses the mind, body and spirit of the person. It is based on the belief that the most powerful healer in life is unconditional love. And, of course, learning to eat healthy in oder to prevent and treat disease is part of loving yourself. A wellness health coach, or holistic counselor, will help you assess your diet and suggest ways to change it on order to promote healthy eating and nutrition, and decrease and prevent health disorders and illnesses.

If you are interested in learning more about complementary alternative medicine, there are many health and wellness websites available for education. They will give you a lot of tips on what to do, as well as locations for further resources. Health coaching websites can be useful to those who do not have either the time, ability, or money to go to a health counselor in person.
