"This book gives a brief, introductory overview of herbs and supplements, mind-body medicine, energy therapies, hands-on therapies, and "other" alternative practices (ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy, and traditonal chinese medicine). They also offer general tips for healthy living such as a proper diet, regular excercise, relaxation, and a good social network. Its a good intro to such topics, but as can be expected from the Mayo clinic, everything is discussed from the conventional western medicine standpoint. While information is given on uses of alternative practices in other countries, the mayo clinic maintains a skeptical opinion on anything that is less than traditional or scientific. They repeatedly bring up the fact that only small, unrelyable studies have been done on different subjects...even though some of these "questionable practices" have been used successfully for centuries.... All in all, its not a bad read, but ceratinly not the final word on the subject of integrative and/or alternative health care practices...a good starter book."
