Health and Medicine

This book is part of the "New Directions" series which is designed to show how today's "green" ideas are changing individuals' and governments' attitudes and actions on different social topics. The books present both the advantages and drawbacks of the "new directions" being taken. This book shows how the emphasis is now being taken on preventative medicine, how ancient alternative therapies are being used by modern society and how people are turning to spiritual healing and holistic medicine.
