Western and Eastern Medical Practices

For this Discussion, review this weeks Learning Resources including the Varying Philosophies of Medical Care handout. Research complementary and alternative stress management approaches in the Walden Library and on the website for the National Institutes of Healths National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) (). Select a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) discussed at NCCAM. Consider how the CAM you selected might effectively reduce stress. Reflect on any contraindications that might exist with regard to its use.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) you selected. Then, explain how this CAM is effective in reducing stress. Finally, explain any contraindications or cautions with this type of stress management strategy. Use the current literature to support your response.
