Reputable Resources

I chose a career in nursing because I realized that I wanted to treat the whole person, not just a disease. My desire to treat the whole has brought me to discover Holistic Nursing. The American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) has a wonderful website to learn more about a variety of Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) practices. I highly recommend checking out their site.

Another useful scientific resource to learn about available CAM modalities is through the National Institutes of Health in Washington DC. They have a branch specifically geared toward CAM: the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. They present a lot of the on-going research related to the use of different CAM treatments.

Both of these professional institutions are helpful places to start embarking on the journey to learn more about CAM & natural health therapies. Enjoy!
