Opis

This handy reference provides users with an understanding of complementary and alternative treatment options for more than 130 common disease states. A practical manual, it describes a variety of possible approaches to small animal disorders. Concentrating on nutrition, herbs, traditional Chinese medicines, and physical therapies, the authors present both tradition- and evidence-based therapies for disorders not always responsive to conventional therapies. Each monograph-style discussion of natural therapies for disorders common to specific body systems presents therapeutic rationales with the goals of treatment, alternative therapies with conventional bases, paradigmatic options, and authors' suggestions from which they've experienced success. Key references are also included at the conclusion of each chapter.

Recenzje

"Books aimed specifically at veterinary surgeons and which cover a variety of natural therapies at a professional and concise level are rare. Particularly so books written by such well-respected authors as Susan Wynn and Steve Marsden. Both experienced in their field, Susan Wynn is a member of the American Herbalist Guild and an IVAS certified acupuncture, naturopathy and is both a Master of Oriental Medicine and a diplomate of Chinese Herbology.

Its source material is derived from a thorough literature review with excellent added material gained from experience within their own practices.

For UK-based veterinary surgeons the information on the location and use of acupuncture points in treating a wide variety of conditions is excellent.

This pocket-sized book...is an excellent source of information for any veterinary surgeon with an interest in complementary medicine and should be a welcome addition to the practice library" tim couzens, veterinary times, September 2003
