Video: Alternative medicine

The interest in alternative medicine in America has risen significantly from a few decades ago. Techniques from Asian countries have moved their way to the west and proven that different methods of healing can help in cases of pain or suffering.

Alternative methods like meditation have brought many peace and serenity. The spreading of eastern medical ideas was proven by Oprah's acceptance of acupuncture a few weeks ago.

While there are few doctors in the states that can supply alternative means of medicine, there are several at home practices as well. The surge of yoga and pilates believers is a great example of the American embrace of eastern practices.

This video jug library of alternative medicine has great information on a few of the most common practices. Although not all of them are eastern related, the library offers great video chapters on chiropractic medicine, hypnosis, yoga, pilates and massage.

Here is another link to videojug looking at acupuncture treatment individually. I'd highly suggest checking it out if you have any curiosity in any of those fields, or if you are currently practicing, as videojug does a great job of incorporating basic introductions and additional in depth information.
