When you hear the words “alternative medicine,” you probably think of homeopathy, herbal remedies, perhaps even acupuncture. Osteopathy is another natural medical practice that fits under the alternative-medicine umbrella – but it’s less well known than its more famous, and often more controversial, cousins.
Osteopathy is a technique that practitioners believe can help heal the body. It involves massage, stretching, and manipulation of joints. Osteopaths say it works because all parts of the body – skin, muscles, tissue, bones, nerves, ligaments, and so on – are connected to one another. Osteopathy realigns the musculoskeletal structure and promotes proper blood flow, which is said to assist in pain relief.
Craniosacral therapy is part of osteopathy. Osteopaths place their hands on the patient’s head and tune in to what they call the “craniosacral rhythm.” This is thought to be a pulsing movement located in the spinal fluid: it comes in waves, and osteopaths say it’s responsible for the quality of a patient’s health. Osteopaths gently massage the patient’s head and manipulate the spine. This treatment is said to release restrictions of the nerve passages, realign cranial bones, and optimize the flow of spinal fluid. Practitioners of craniosacral therapy say it can relieve back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, stress, and TMJ, a jaw disorder that causes tension and pain. It’s also used to treat chronic pain of any kind.
Osteopaths go to school to obtain qualifications that allow them to practice. Universities who offer osteopathy programs include Michigan State, New York Institute of Technology, and William Carey University. The programs are generally four years in length.
Each state in the US has an osteopathic medical board that grants licenses to qualified practitioners. This regulation ensures that patients can find certified osteopaths who have undergone the necessary training, rather than people who have simply decided to call themselves osteopathic practitioners.

MY THOUGHTS
Some doctors would actually recommend you to an osteopath if they think osteopathy is best for you. I wouldn't go to one without a recommendation. I won't feel comfortable having someone 'manipulate my spine' unless I'm sure he/she won't risk messing around with it. Of course a recommendation is not foolproof. But it beats the hell out of picking someone from the yellow pages. Or a Google search.

Nail Fungus Natural Remedy Ingredients:
- Vinegar
- Water
Dr Oz’s Nail Fungus Remedy Instructions:
Dr. Oz says that 15 million Americans suffer from Onychomycosis or nail fungus. If your toenails are thick, yellow and/or chewed away at the edges, then there is a good chance that you too have fungus growing in your nails (or onychomycosis). When you are walking (particularly without shoes or socks and on a damp surface) fungus can embed itself into the cracks in the top of your nail (where the fungus can actually grow, live and thrive off of the nutrients in your nails). In addition to wearing flat shoes (so that you keep pressure off of your nails, and replacing cotton socks (which harbor moisture) with synthetic socks (which creates a dry atmosphere so the fungus can’t thrive), there are several options and home remedies. You can try pills for nail fungus, but this can be toxic for your liver. Instead, why not first try a simple vinegar bathe? Vinegar is proven to kill bacteria and may very well get rid of the fungi growing in your nails! Here is how to do it:
1. Mix 2 parts of vinegar with 4 parts of water (so twice the amount of water to vinegar). I generally use about 4 cups of vinegar and 8 cups of warm water.
2. Soak your feet in the vinegar bath for 20 minutes.
3. Rinse your feet and repeat as needed.
MY THOUGHTS
This is quite easy to do, right? And cheap, too. Vinegar is known to have a lot of medicinal properties. Truly an alternative medicine. So, if you see signs of nail fungus. Try this vinegar concoction as an alternative medicine.

HOME REMEDY FOR EAR WAX
Home remedy for ear wax found effective
SOURCE: http://bit.ly/dVL4uH Annals of Family Medicine, March/April 2011.
Published March 15, 2011
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The so-called bulb syringes commonly sold over the counter for ear wax removal may work as advertised -- at least for some people, a new study finds.
In most cases, ear wax buildup can be managed with home treatments that soften the wax -- like placing a few drops of mineral oil or glycerin in the ear, according to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
Another at-home option is ear "syringing," which involves placing drops of a wax-softening solution into the ear, then using a rubber-bulb syringe to flush the ear with water and clear the wax.
Home bulb-syringe kits are widely available in the U.S. and many other countries. But there has been little research into whether they actually work -- and no studies on whether they allow people to avoid visits to the doctor for ear wax removal.
For the new study, UK researchers followed 237 patients who visited a clinic for ear wax removal. They were randomly assigned to either use a bulb syringe at home, or have their ears "irrigated" by a nurse at the clinic.
Over the next 2 years, 73 percent of the professionally treated patients returned to the clinic for a repeat treatment. That compared with 60 percent of those in the bulb-syringe group.
And on average, patients in the syringe group had almost half the number of clinic visits versus those given a professional treatment the first time.
Presumably, some patients in the syringe group had kept the device and were using it to self-treat at home, according to study leader Dr. Richard Coppin, of The Surgery in Hampshire.
In an email, he told Reuters Health that bulb syringes could be worth a try for people bothered by ear wax.
"They appear to be effective, at least for some people," Coppin said.
And, he added, "it's probably easier to buy a bulb and clear your ears at home in your own time than to book up to be seen in a physician's office."
Despite its name, ear wax is not "wax," but a mixture of secretions from the outer ear, along with dead skin cells and hair. It is normal and necessary for healthy ears, acting as a self-cleaning agent with lubricating and antibacterial properties.
However, ear wax can accumulate inside the ear to the point where it causes an impaction and symptoms including hearing loss, "ringing" in the ears, pain or a feeling of fullness in the ear.
In those cases, wax removal may be necessary.
In general, experts advise against using cotton swabs, which tend to only push the wax farther into the ear. People should also avoid home "oral jet irrigators" -- which operate at a high pressure -- as well as so-called ear candling, which involves inserting a hollow cone-shaped device into the ear canal and lighting the exposed end.
Bulb syringes appear to be low-risk, according to Coppin. A recent research review concluded that the treatment appears "reasonably safe."
Ear irrigation in general carries some risk of perforating the eardrum. But with bulb syringes, Coppin noted, it is unlikely that a person would exert so much pressure as to harm the eardrum.
Unlike in the U.S. and many other countries, bulb syringes are not sold over the counter in the UK. Coppin and his colleagues estimate that if Britons could try bulb syringes before going to the doctor, that would nearly halve the 2 million professional ear wax removals done in the UK each year.
In the U.S., about 12 million people visit the doctor each year for ear wax buildup.

i've never even heard of these ear syringes here. maybe because i've never heard of anyone with ear wax problem. because no one would probably want to discuss this with anyone except their doctor.

HUMMING CAN CURE SINUS PROBLEMS
The Claim: Humming Can Ease Sinus Problems
By ANAHAD O’CONNOR
Published: December 20, 2010
THE FACTS
Dealing with a cold is bad enough, but when it leads to a sinus infection, the misery can double. Some researchers have proposed a surprising remedy: channeling your inner Sinatra.
Sinus infections — which afflict more than 37 million Americans every year — generally occur when the lining of the sinuses becomes inflamed, trapping air and pus and other secretions, and leading to pain, headaches and congestion. Because the inflammation is often caused by upper-respiratory infections, people with asthma and allergies are more vulnerable than others to chronic sinusitis.
Keeping the sinuses healthy and infection-free requires ventilation — keeping air flowing smoothly between the sinus and nasal cavities. And what better way to keep air moving through the sinuses and nasal cavity than by humming a tune?
In a study in The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, researchers examined this by comparing airflow in people when they hummed and when they quietly exhaled. Specifically, they looked to see if humming led to greater levels of exhaled nitric oxide, a gas produced in the sinuses. Ultimately, nitric oxides during humming rose 15-fold.
Another study a year later in The European Respiratory Journal found a similar effect: humming resulted in a large increase in nasal nitric oxide, “caused by a rapid gas exchange in the paranasal sinuses.” Since reduced airflow plays a major role in sinus infections, the researchers suggested that daily periods of humming might help people lower their risk of chronic problems. But further study is needed, they said.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Studies show that humming helps increase airflow between the sinus and nasal cavities, which could potentially help protect against sinus infections.

MY THOUGHTS
that's such an easy way to be free of sinus infections. i wonder if there's anyone who doesn't know how to hum?

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE FOR TOOTHACHE
Remedies: Clove Oil for Tooth Pain
February 17, 2011, 3:34 pm
By ANAHAD O'CONNOR
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com
Tony Cenicola/The New York Times What alternative remedies belong in your home medicine cabinet?
More than a third of American adults use some form of complementary or alternative medicine, according to a government report. Natural remedies have an obvious appeal, but how do you know which ones to choose and whether the claims are backed by science? In this occasional series, Anahad O’Connor, the New York Times “Really?” columnist, explores the claims and the science behind alternative remedies that you may want to consider for your family medicine cabinet.
The Remedy: Clove oil.
The Claim: It relieves toothaches.
The Science: What can you do in a pinch when you have a toothache?
Most people reach for age-old medicine-cabinet staples like Anbesol and Orajel, which contain benzocaine, an anesthetic, as their active ingredient. Benzocaine, like many other anesthetics, can cause allergic reactions and other side effects that some people find unpalatable.
But one natural alternative is clove oil, an essential oil from the clove plant, native to India and Indonesia and also known by the scientific but somewhat pleasant-sounding name Eugenia aromaticum. The essential oil has been shown in studies to have both analgesic and antibacterial properties, which can be particularly helpful in the case of a toothache instigated by bacteria.
Clove oil is not for everyone. It has a strong and sometimes unpleasant taste, and if large quantities are accidentally ingested, it too can have side effects. But it was widely used in dentistry before the advent of more commercial anesthetics, and research shows it works thanks to its active ingredient, eugenol, the same compound responsible for the plant’s aroma.
In a study published in The Journal of Dentistry in 2006, for example, a team of dentists recruited 73 adult volunteers and randomly split them into groups that had one of four substances applied to the gums just above the maxillary canine teeth: a clove gel, benzocaine, a placebo resembling the clove gel, or a placebo resembling benzocaine. Then, after five minutes, they compared what happened when the subjects received two needle sticks in those areas. Not surprisingly, the placebos failed to numb the tissue against the pain, but the clove and benzocaine applications numbed the tissue equally well.
“No significant difference was observed between clove and benzocaine regarding pain scores,” the scientists concluded.
The Risks: Clove oil can be found in most health food stores for a few dollars a bottle. To use it, apply a very small amount to a cotton swab or piece of tissue and apply gently to the affected area. Although considered safe when used correctly in small amounts, it can cause liver and respiratory problems when ingested in large quantities.
MY THOUGHTS
clove is sometimes confused with garlic. i'm not sure if we have it here but this is very common in most asian countries. here's a pic.
i hope this really works as an alternative medicine. toothache is very uncomfortable.

ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE FOR BACKPAIN
ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE FOR BACKACHE
from the article 'When Ibuprofen Won't Cut It'
By Paige Greenfield
O, The Oprah Magazine | From the August 2010 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine
Painful condition: Backache
Alterna-Treatment: Alexander technique
Research published in the British Medical Journal found that patients trained in Alexander technique, which teaches proper posture and everyday movement habits to reduce strain, experienced an average of 18 fewer days of back pain over four weeks. Go to AlexanderTechnique.com to find an instructor in your area.
MY THOUGHTS
these are not my thoughts. these are wiki's thoughts - i'm simply quoting -
'The Alexander technique is an education/guidance system to "improve posture and movement, and to use muscles efficiently"[1] as defined by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). The "Alexander technique" denotes both the educational methods used by Alexander teachers and the individual bodily awareness methods taught. Students practice the technique to recognize and become free of habituated limitations in their manner of movement as well as for other benefits.'
i still don't get it so i searched for some pics-
