| benefits of holistic therapies: Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States Institute of Medicine, Board on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, Committee on the Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine by the American Public, 2005-04-13 Integration of complementary and alternative medicine therapies (CAM) with conventional medicine is occurring in hospitals and physicians offices, health maintenance organizations (HMOs) are covering CAM therapies, insurance coverage for CAM is increasing, and integrative medicine centers and clinics are being established, many with close ties to medical schools and teaching hospitals. In determining what care to provide, the goal should be comprehensive care that uses the best scientific evidence available regarding benefits and harm, encourages a focus on healing, recognizes the importance of compassion and caring, emphasizes the centrality of relationship-based care, encourages patients to share in decision making about therapeutic options, and promotes choices in care that can include complementary therapies where appropriate. Numerous approaches to delivering integrative medicine have evolved. Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the United States identifies an urgent need for health systems research that focuses on identifying the elements of these models, the outcomes of care delivered in these models, and whether these models are cost-effective when compared to conventional practice settings. It outlines areas of research in convention and CAM therapies, ways of integrating these therapies, development of curriculum that provides further education to health professionals, and an amendment of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act to improve quality, accurate labeling, research into use of supplements, incentives for privately funded research into their efficacy, and consumer protection against all potential hazards. |

| benefits of holistic therapies: The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division, Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice, Committee on the Health Effects of Marijuana: An Evidence Review and Research Agenda, 2017-03-31 Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. During the past 20 years, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis and/or cannabidiol (a component of cannabis) for medical conditions or retail sales at the state level and 4 states have legalized both the medical and recreational use of cannabis. These landmark changes in policy have impacted cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. However, despite this changing landscape, evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms, often these research conclusions are not appropriately synthesized, translated for, or communicated to policy makers, health care providers, state health officials, or other stakeholders who have been charged with influencing and enacting policies, procedures, and laws related to cannabis use. Unlike other controlled substances such as alcohol or tobacco, no accepted standards for safe use or appropriate dose are available to help guide individuals as they make choices regarding the issues of if, when, where, and how to use cannabis safely and, in regard to therapeutic uses, effectively. Shifting public sentiment, conflicting and impeded scientific research, and legislative battles have fueled the debate about what, if any, harms or benefits can be attributed to the use of cannabis or its derivatives, and this lack of aggregated knowledge has broad public health implications. The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids provides a comprehensive review of scientific evidence related to the health effects and potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. This report provides a research agendaâ€outlining gaps in current knowledge and opportunities for providing additional insight into these issuesâ€that summarizes and prioritizes pressing research needs. |

| benefits of holistic therapies: The Tapping Solution Nick Ortner, 2013-04-02 In the New York Times best-selling book The Tapping Solution, Nick Ortner, founder of the Tapping World Summit and best-selling filmmaker of The Tapping Solution, is at the forefront of a new healing movement. In this book, he gives readers everything they need to successfully start using the powerful practice of tapping—or Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).Tapping is one of the fastest and easiest ways to address both the emotional and physical problems that tend to hamper our lives. Using the energy meridians of the body, practitioners tap on specific points while focusing on particular negative emotions or physical sensations. The tapping helps calm the nervous system to restore the balance of energy in the body, and in turn rewire the brain to respond in healthy ways. This kind of conditioning can help rid practitioners of everything from chronic pain to phobias to addictions. Because of tapping’s proven success in healing such a variety of problems, Ortner recommends to try it on any challenging issue. In The Tapping Solution, Ortner describes not only the history and science of tapping but also the practical applications. In a friendly voice, he lays out easy-to-use practices, diagrams, and worksheets that will teach readers, step-by-step, how to tap on a variety of issues. With chapters covering everything from the alleviation of pain to the encouragement of weight loss to fostering better relationships, Ortner opens readers’ eyes to just how powerful this practice can be. Throughout the book, readers will see real-life stories of healing ranging from easing the pain of fibromyalgia to overcoming a fear of flying.The simple strategies Ortner outlines will help readers release their fears and clear the limiting beliefs that hold them back from creating the life they want. |
| benefits of holistic therapies: PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT BY COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY FOR STARGARDT DISEASE Edenilson Brandl, Stargardt disease, a hereditary eye disorder leading to progressive vision loss, poses unique challenges not only for those directly affected but also for their families and caregivers. As a complex interplay of genetics, biology, and psychological well-being, the journey of navigating this condition often requires a multifaceted approach to support. In this book, I aim to provide a comprehensive resource that addresses both the medical and psychological dimensions of living with Stargardt disease. The foundation of this work lies in the understanding that genetic conditions like Stargardt disease can evoke a range of emotional responses, including grief, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future. As a therapist, I have witnessed the profound impact of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in helping individuals and families cope with these challenges. CBT empowers patients to reframe their thoughts, develop healthy coping strategies, and ultimately take control of their emotional well-being. This book serves as a guide to implementing CBT techniques tailored specifically for the needs of those affected by Stargardt disease. In the chapters that follow, we will explore the intricacies of Stargardt disease, delving into its genetic underpinnings and the broader context of hereditary disorders. We will also address common psychological issues faced by patients and their families, offering tools and techniques derived from CBT that can facilitate healing and resilience. Each section is designed to be accessible, with practical exercises and case studies that illustrate the transformative power of CBT. This book is intended for a diverse audience, including individuals diagnosed with Stargardt disease, their loved ones, healthcare providers, and therapists seeking to expand their understanding of the emotional and psychological aspects of living with genetic conditions. My hope is that readers will find not only valuable insights and strategies but also a sense of community and hope as they navigate this journey. As we embark on this exploration together, I invite you to approach the content with an open mind and a willingness to engage with the therapeutic process. Whether you are directly impacted by Stargardt disease or are supporting someone who is, may you find the tools and knowledge within these pages to foster resilience, enhance emotional well-being, and cultivate a fulfilling life. Thank you for joining me on this journey. |
