The Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine is a

medical reference product designed to inform and edu￾cate readers about a wide variety of complementary ther￾apies and herbal remedies and treatments for prevalent

conditions and diseases. Thomson Gale believes the

product to be comprehensive, but not necessarily defini￾tive. It is intended to supplement, not replace, consulta￾tion with a physician or other healthcare practitioner.

While Thomson Gale has made substantial efforts to pro￾vide 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

purpose, nor does it guarantee the accuracy, comprehen￾siveness, or timeliness of the information contained in

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 med￾ical condition, and to discuss information obtained from

this book with their healthcare provider.

GALE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2 XV

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 in￾formation that covers complementary therapies, herbs

and remedies, and common medical diseases and condi￾tions. 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, dis￾eases, and conditions was compiled from a wide variety

of sources, including professional medical guides and

textbooks, as well as consumer guides and encyclope￾dias. 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 conjunc￾tion 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 re￾viewed 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.

GALE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2 XVII

ABOUT THE ENCYCLOPEDIA

GEAM FM 10/12/04 2:25 PM Page xvii

• Bold faced terms function as print hyperlinks that

point the reader to related entries in the encyclo￾pedia.

• A list of key terms is provided where appropriate

to define unfamiliar words or concepts used with￾in the context of the essay. Additional terms may

be found in the glossary.

• Cross-references placed throughout the encyclo￾pedia direct readers to where information on sub￾jects without their own entries can be found. Syn￾onyms 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 valu￾able contact information.

• A comprehensive general index allows users to

easily target detailed aspects of any topic, includ￾ing Latin names.

Graphics

The Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine is

enhanced with over 450 images, including photos, ta￾bles, and customized line drawings. Each volume con￾tains a color insert of 64 important herbs, remedies, and

supplements.
