The evidence-based discussion explores complementary, alternative, and integrative health (CAIH) across various cultural and ethnic groups both in the U.S. and internationally, to give you a greater understanding of the different modalities—including a literature-backed examination of proven methods and questionable practices within a cross-cultural framework. Each chapter highlights the scientific analysis of the practices relevant to each group, and guides you toward independent analysis of the risks and benefits of the practices discussed. Emphasizing the student as a future health professional, this book includes case studies, examples, questions, and discussion problems that underscore the role of health educators in educating consumers about CAIH practices. \u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Editors xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Contributors xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Exploring Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Health: Overview, Limits, and Controversies 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCyndi Guerra, Cheryl Hickey, and Helda Pinzón-Pérez\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 Mind-Body Medicine 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCatherine L.
