Description
Twenty years ago, seeking health care through acupuncture, meditation or another alternative therapy would have been almost unheard of in the United States. These days, it’s a big business and Americans spend billions of dollars on therapies such as Reiki, osteopathy and homeopathy. Alternative therapies are becoming complementary therapies. Ellen Birx (Radford University) is the author of Healing Zen: Awakening to a Life of Wholeness and Compassion While Caring for Yourself and Others. Nursing instructor Ginny Weisz (Radford University) is a Reiki master who teaches courses on alternative therapies.
