NUR 345 - Complementary Therapies

Institution:

Daemen University

Subject:

Description:

This course provides information on current complementary therapies. Complementary Therapies also referred to as Alternate Therapies, recognize that a person is a physical, mental and spiritual being, and that disease affects all areas of life. These therapies, each in their own way, attempt to achieve a state of balance to help people return to wellness and remain healthy in the future. Complementary therapies honor the whole person, recognize the healing power of nature, find and eliminate the cause of illness, prevent disease, and do no harm. Complementary practitioners empower their clients and enable them to participate in the process of staying well. Most complementary therapies have been in existence for thousands of years and have their origins in Chinese or ayurvedic medicine. Each therapy is reviewed as to its history, purpose, uses, contraindications and education/ training of the practitioner. In addition, herbs are studied extensively as to their ability to treat disease, act as drugs and cause herb/drug interactions. Lecture, 3 hours. Offered As Needed.
