Alternative Healing Techniques<br />
When it comes to medicine, Western treatment (pills, injections, surgery) and Eastern<br />
medicine (meditation, herbs, acupuncture) have been engaged in a lifelong battle of the<br />
wills. Western medicine accuses alternative treatments of being useless therapies that<br />
prey on the gullible, while Eastern therapists tend to think of their Western counterparts as<br />
invasive and narrow-minded. That said, all doctors want to promote optimal<br />
health and cure medical conditions as best they can. A growing healthcare<br />
movement is therefore starting to recognise that alternative therapy has its benefits in the<br />
Western world, and that by combining the two you can pack a real power-healing punch.<br />
