| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The dominant means of medical treatment in some cultures, alternative medicine has recently emerged into the US mainstream as more and more people choose to use alternative medicine in lieu of or along side more traditional western techniques. This book serves as a guide to the major classifications of alternative medicine and the practices they contain. Including over thirty alternative medicine practices, the book discusses the development of each, how, why and when it is used, related methods and techniques and much more. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
