medical reference product designed to inform and educate readers about a wide variety of complementary therapies and herbal remedies and treatments for prevalent
conditions and diseases. Thomson Gale believes the

While Thomson Gale has made substantial efforts to provide information that is accurate, comprehensive, and
up-to-date, Thomson Gale makes no representations or
warranties of any kind, including without limitation,
warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular

this product. Readers should be aware that the universe
of complementary medical knowledge is constantly
growing and changing, and that differences of medical
opinion exist among authorities. They are also advised to
seek professional diagnosis and treatment for any medical condition, and to discuss information obtained from
this book with their healthcare provider.

PLEASE READ – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
GEAM FM 10/12/04 2:25 PM Page xv
The Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine
(GEAM) is a one-stop source for alternative medical information that covers complementary therapies, herbs
and remedies, and common medical diseases and conditions. It avoids medical jargon, making it easier for the
layperson to use. The Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative
Medicine presents authoritative, balanced information
and is more comprehensive than single-volume family
medical guides.
Scope
Over 800 full-length articles are included in The
Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine. Many
prominent figures are highlighted as sidebar biographies
that accompany the therapy entries. Articles follow a
standardized format that provides information at a
glance. Rubrics include:
Therapies
• Origins
• Benefits
• Description
• Preparations
• Precautions
• Side effects
• Research & general acceptance
• Resources
• Key terms
Herbs/remedies
• General use
• Preparations
• Precautions
• Side effects
• Interactions
• Resources
• Key terms
Diseases/conditions
• Definition
• Description
• Causes & symptoms
• Diagnosis
• Treatment
• Allopathic treatment
• Expected results
• Prevention
• Resources
• Key terms
Inclusion criteria
A preliminary list of therapies, herbs, remedies, diseases, and conditions was compiled from a wide variety
of sources, including professional medical guides and
textbooks, as well as consumer guides and encyclopedias. The advisory board, made up of three medical and
alternative healthcare experts, evaluated the topics and
made suggestions for inclusion. Final selection of topics
to include was made by the medical advisors in conjunction with Thomson Gale editors.
About the Contributors
The essays were compiled by experienced medical
writers, including alternative healthcare practitioners and
educators, pharmacists, nurses, and other complementary
healthcare professionals. GEAM medical advisors reviewed over 95% of the completed essays to insure that
they are appropriate, up-to-date, and medically accurate.
How to Use this Book
The Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine has
been designed with ready reference in mind:
• Straight alphabetical arrangement allows users
to locate information quickly.

• Cross-references placed throughout the encyclopedia direct readers to where information on subjects without their own entries can be found. Synonyms are also cross-referenced.
• A Resources section directs users to sources of
further complementary medical information.
• An appendix of alternative medical organizations
is arranged by type of therapy and includes valuable contact information.
• A comprehensive general index allows users to
easily target detailed aspects of any topic, including Latin names.
Graphics
The Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine is
enhanced with over 450 images, including photos, tables, and customized line drawings. Each volume contains a color insert of 64 important herbs, remedies, and
supplements.
