About the Book

Four out of ten patients visited a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioner last year--Your Patients! Essentials of Complementary and Alternative Medicine provides you with the information you need to understand this phenomenon. This practical source brings together today's leading CAM researchers and practitioners to offer the reader insights into the social and scientific foundations of CAM, the safety and efficacy of CAM products and practices, and overviews of 20 commonly used CAM modalities. Essentials of Complementary and Alternative Medicine helps you inform, educate, and treat patients who are interested in or currently using CAM.
