Summary:Alternative medicine is not a fashionable new trend, but an established cultural strategy in which elements of folk traditions are often blended with Western scientific approaches. This is a concise yet wide-ranging exploration of non-biomedical healing. The book addresses a broad range of practices including: substance, energy and information flows, spirit, consciousness and trance, body, movement and the senses, as well as classical medical traditions as complements or alternatives to Western biomedicine. Designed for students studying anthropology, psychology, and health related professions to explore the cultural underpinnings of contemporary healing methods, while assessing current ideas, topics and resources for further study.
