These alternative treatments really do work

I used to be a little leery of alternative medicine, mostly turned off by products that carried outrageous claims with an even increasingly unbelievable price tag. But in the final several years, alternative medicine has been getting increasingly serious attention, and while there are plenty of society out there willing to trade you your tough earned cash for their useless product, there’s additionally a lot of solid science that says some alternative treatments really work. CNN recently highlighted five of them:

  • acupuncture
  • calcium, magnesium, and B6 to treat PMS
  • using St. John’s Wort for gentle depression
  • treating pain and anxiety with guided imagery
  • glucosamine for joint pain

Health experts recommend

making certain any product has labeling from the USP or NSF worldly, that practitioners are trained and licensed, and that you turn your back on crazy claims or promises of quick fixes.
