From the publisher:
"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.

    • Herbs/remedies: General use, Preparations, Precautions, Side effects, Interactions, Resources, Key terms
    • Diseases/conditions: Definition, Description, Causes and symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Allopathic treatment, Expected results, Prevention, Resources, Key terms"
