Alternative medicine in a nutshell for cross-border patients
Whatever you call it - alternative medicine, holistic medicine, or complementary medicine - it aims at preventing and treating diseases applying spiritual practices, herbs, and physical exercise. In most Asian and African countries, up to 75% of local population refer to time-proven methods in the first place when they get the flu, headache, or back pain.
Overseas patients searching for alternative medicine facilities often inquire about Rigvir cancer therapy, obesity treatment, and heart care.
Complementary medicine covers an array of treatments including:
- acupuncture (inserting needles into a human body)
- homeopathy (triggering natural body resources with highly diluted substances)
- breathwork (learning how to breathe healthily)
- fasting (developing healthy eating habits)
- yoga (meditation and physical exercises)
- osteopathy (stimulating musculoskeletal system with manual techniques)
- etc.
5 questions to ask your alternative medicine specialist during your first appointment at an overseas clinic:
- What type of treatment would you recommend trying first?
- What is your experience/education in treating patients with similar diagnosis/needs?
- What are causes of my disorder?
- What medicines/approaches will you be using to treat my case?
- How will my follow-up care look like?
