The history of alternative medicine goes back thousands of years. Even as far back as over five thousand years ago, the Chinese had already used alternative approaches to medicine. Of course, it was not referred to as “alternative” at that time.
The Shift From Ancient to Modern Medicine
The belief among such ancient alternative practitioners is that the mind and the body are connected and any type of medicine used should treat all aspects of a person in order to fully cure an illness. Some of the therapies used in alternative medicine were changes in lifestyle, preventative medicine, and self help.
Today, we think of modern medicine as what is traditional and alternative medicine is thought of as something to complement modern approaches. For all of the thousands of years that the alternative approach to medicine has been used, the connection between mind, body and spirit has remained the forefront of the practice.
