Either silently, or in our head, was to rub the pain away. Right? The same was true with our ancestors. Healers from ancient times to today have used touch as a tool to relieve pain and stress from both the physical and psychological person. The scientific proof of the benefits of massage is far-reaching.
includes religion. Around 100 C.E., Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism, were China’s main religions. However, around 300 C.E., Buddhism started becoming popular, mainly due to Indian missionaries. Yet another cultural change in China revolves around inventions. The invention of paper in 105 C.E.
Ancient Chinese Inventions Strayer University HUM 111 July 16, 2013 Dr. Caren Stayer The ancient Chinese culture can be credited for several important inventions. China has played a significant part in many famous inventions and contributions that has had a major role to play in our lives. Many of the inventions were invented as far back as c. 1600 B.C.-A.D. 265 (ancienthistory.about.com). The lists of inventions from ancient China are still used in modern day society. Some of the inventions are as follows: tea, gunpowder, a compass, chopsticks, bristle toothbrush, silk fiber, paper and printing, publishing, a seismograph (an earthquake detector), porcelain, acupuncture, lacquer, the wheel barrel, the abacius (calculator) and toilet paper.
Researchers estimate that more than twenty-five percent of drugs that are used today are extracts of what Native Americans used thousands of years ago. Drugs like Aspirin, Morphine, Digitalis and Tamoxifen are a few examples. There are also spas that specialize in steams, hydrotherapy and massages that Native Americans found useful for healing. Therapists, spirituality coaches and most importantly doctors are available today. Their natural remedies could be categorized as before their time, but I think the total opposite.
That is why we have the various terms. According to the National Institutes of Health (2010), “Alternative medicine” refers to use of CAM in place of conventional medicine” (para 3, p.1). Alternative medicine is comprised of an array of practices and some healing therapies are based on the usage of certain herbal compounds or Ancient Chinese beliefs, such as acupuncture and the use of certain herbal compounds. Other cultures focus on Hindu or Ayurvedic beliefs. This is when therapies include changes in the diet, the practice of yoga, and a strong emphasis on the connection of mind, body, and spirit (Ellis-Christensen, 2011).
This article is about the rebirth of acceptance to the Native American traditions and interest in their healing techniques. It has a list of herbs that were used for all sorts of health related issues. Some of these were as simple as a cough for a child; others are to help a deep open gash that in our world now needs stitches. I find it insightful to see what herbs were used and not only herbs but also other plants, bark from trees, and prayer. The article is written by Lauren Johnston, a doctor who studied different religions and the relation to medicine in that religion.
Although epoetin alfa has helped with end stage renal disease (ESRD) anemia significantly, there continue to be patients with ESRD who have anemia despite the use of epoetin alfa. This paper will address the administration of ascorbic acid and its effectiveness in increasing hemoglobin results in patients who are not responding to epoetin alfa use alone and will also discuss the adverse effects found in the addition of ascorbic acid. This paper will also summarize the research study used to obtain the information and discuss its significance in nursing. Background of Study The questions the researcher asked when researching this topic were. 1.
I vow to abide by medical ethics, to relieve people of the pain of illness, to improve their health and to honor the sanctity of the science. I vow to heal the sick and save the dying, regardless of difficulty, and to contribute all my life to China’s medical and pharmaceutical development and the health of all human beings.” (Do Chinese doctors take the Hippocratic Oath? para. 3) We need only to take into account the doctors responsibilities. While it would be nice if the doctors took into account the prisoners and the value of their lives, it does not appear that they have a moral responsibility to the prisoners; but rather to the patients lying in wait for the new
In 1909 Dr Hata had joined the research team and he reviewed the previous experiments. Hata had discovered that there previously had been a mistake. The 606th compound that they had tested was actually effective1 The compound was known as Salvarsan 606 and shows how many times Ehrlich had tries other compounds. This ouse of chemical drugs to target and cure illnesses were an important
I achieved this by personally interviewing my fiancé’s surgeon Dr. Rapp port. During this interview I questioned the benefit of treatments such as chiropractic care, acupuncture, acupressure, massage therapy, and hypnotism. Massage therapy is in fact a component of some physical therapy regimens. When the muscles are less tense, less pressure is put on the nerves, resulting in less pain. Acupressure and acupuncture are widely supported by eastern medicine and skepticized by western medicine.
