Learn moreAt your last health checkup, your healthcare team said your heart medications are working well and your cholesterol numbers are improving. Also, there's a new medicine for arthritis if you'd like to try it for your joint pain. All good news, yet you still don'f feel all that great and you're not a big fan of the ever-increasing size of your pill box. Might there be other ways to boost your health besides medications, injections and other medical interventions? Could acupuncture really help with knee pain? Does massage therapy do more than just boost feel-good endorphins? Is CBD helpful? How do you find high-quality supplements?
Mayo Clinic experts provide answers to these questions and more in this new guide. Inside this book, you’ll read about:
- How the physical, mental and emotional aspects of your self impact your health
- The fundamentals of taking care of your whole person
- How spirituality, in any form, can bring purpose and meaning to your life
- How connecting back to nature can increase your health
- How to optimize your health in an overmedicalized society, even when you're managing a chronic illness
You'll also find an A-Z list of over 30 complementary therapies in use today—many of them ancient, some new. Each section provides a description of the therapy and when it might be helpful, what the research says about it and what Mayo Clinic's take is on it. You'll learn how Mayo Clinic uses specific therapies in its own departments to supplement conventional treatments such as cancer care and rehabilitation after surgery.
Whether you’re seeking to boost your overall well-being or manage a chronic condition in noninvasive holistic ways, this book can help you learn additional ways to live better.
