We, in the western world, tend to spend so much time on passive activities, like watching TV, or engaging with our computers rather than with people. Could that be one of the reasons why so many of us suffer from stress related disorders? I think so. People need people and we have so little time for each other in our hectic lives. Alternative therapy treatment is a generic term for any treatment/therapy which treats the individual as a whole on all levels - mind, body and spirit. Most types of complementary or alternative therapy treatment could be viewed as holistic. Alternative Therapy or Complementary Medicine (CAM) constitutes that stream of medicine which is prevalent in society but which is not recognized or authorized by the mainstream medical fraternity due to its want of scientific explanations. What is known today as alternative therapy has a history that almost starts with history of human civilization itself. Alternative therapy and complimentary medicine mark the earliest and probably the most sustained efforts of humanity to diseases and ailments. Indian Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine and many other forms of alternative therapy as health medicine had well evolved and developed even more than 6000 years ago. These earlier methods were rooted on the concept of balance between bodily energy and natural energy healing. They postulated that positive energy brings happiness and health, while negative energy debilitates the body and mind.

Control over mind, to avoid the accumulation of negative and harmful energies, was the central theme of many of these methods. Through their careful study of nature and natural products, these traditional and complementary schools of alternative therapies were also able to use various herbs and natural products in treatment of different diseases. These therapies addressed the underlying cause of the disease by encouraging lifestyle changes, self-care and preventive strategies, rather than simply suppressing symptoms. Because such therapies focus on the person as a whole, I believe that they can be useful for someone suffering from any type of stress. I think that it would be beneficial for us all to try to incorporate them as a normal part of our lives, as a means of nurturing our spiritual, emotional and physical selves, and of showing love and care, both to ourselves and to our loved ones.
