The unique approach in this book provides the historical background of alternative healing systems, in addition to the most up-to-date information on scientific research, plus basic clinical applications.

Intended as an introduction to the topic of alternative medicine, Dr Micozzis book has become the standard among medical and health care professionals who wish to learn about incorporating these procedures into an allopathic practice.
