Abstract
Although there are great advances in the
pharmacological treatment of many diseases and
emergencies, yet the traditional medicine attracted
increased attention especially in the industrialized
world. This is because it is based on the natural healing
response; also it is effective, more economical, easily
practiced, less invasive, and less harmful than
conventional medical treatment.
Though the alternative treatments perform many healing
functions in the body and are less harmful than the
conventional therapies, yet they should not be used
without consultation of a licensed, expert health care
provider,
This study is conducted according to the (O/uyi)
classification, and (WHO) design of alternative medicine;
taking in considerations that every technique or therapy
mentioned in it should be natural. It includes the
following:
• Herbal medicine: in which medicinal herbs and kitchen
herbs were discussed thoroughly.
• Diet and nutrition: which was categorized into basic
healthy diet with special concerns of oily fish, honey
royal jelly, and milk, it also includes fruits,
vegetables, vitamins, minerals, and finally, water.
• Mind/body control; in which, meditation, relaxation,”
manual healing, and yoga are discussed for their
benefits in reduction of the level of stress hormones
in the body and enhancing immune system activity.
• Physical activity and its role in maintaining
fitness, and promoting health are clarified in a
separate chapter.
• Another chapters included in the study are
detoxification, which means neutralizing, or
transforming toxins and then clearing them from the
body. Also there are separate chapters for the benefits
of fasting, light, and sound therapies.
• The clinical application of the previously mentioned
therapies are included, to be a practical guide for
different practitioners and the primary health care
physicians.
• Finally, the various researches implemented in Egypt
are summarized to be the first step in exploring the
natural alternative medicine.
CONCLUSIONS
• It was concluded that though many people believed
that herbs were as effective as drugs, but without the
side effects, yet many of known herbs were poisonous
and deadly so they must be used appropriately, not
indiscriminately.
• The basic healthy diet should include vegetables,
fruits, fish, and dietary fibers, whereas saturated
fats and refined carbohydrates should be minimized.
• Physical activities are a must, to promote health;
and other techniques of manual and mind / body control
should be performed under professional supervision.
• Regular fasting is recommended as it helps
detoxification, and thus helps reverse the aging
process.
• Application of all other alternative remedies in
clinical practice, by experienced practitioners, on a
scientific basis
