The notion of camisation was further refined following its presentation at XVIII ISA World Congress of Sociology in Japan (2014) and international conference on Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Poland (2016) as resolving everyday human problems through CAM framework. Camisation is defined as ‘a process through which everyday human problems are transformed into health problems which are treated in CAM terms and within a CAM framework’ (Almeida 2012: 92). Almeida’s thesis is premised on the integration and institutionalisation of CAM into orthodox western medicine through the framework of camisation. Central to this idea is the argument that camisation can contribute to re-medicalisation (the process whereby the medical meanings of a disease are restored) or de-medicalisation (the process whereby human problems come to be redefined in nonmedical terms).","PeriodicalId":92796,"journal":{"name":"International journal of complementary & alternative medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45287594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is in the Western model of medicine that acupuncture is considered ‘alternative’ medicine. The practice of this Western model of acupuncture, known as dry needling (DN), requires a technique that uses a monofilament without an injectate that is inserted into the soft tissue at varying depths–from superficial to deep–triggering a physiological response. Certain physicians and physical therapists have adopted this westernized version of the Chinese medicine modality by using the same technique for acupuncture to perform DN and electric dry needling (EDN). DN and EDN are administered to mediate analgesia peripherally, spinally, and supraspinally via multiple pathways by arousing the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, provoking immune cells, and prompting the supraoptic nucleus. Stimulating these sites initiates the opioid interneuron mechanism resulting in opioid-based pain reduction that is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system and endogenous cannabinoids. Although EDN is further correlated with the spinal to supraspinal mechanisms of anti-nociception, both DN and EDN have shown to be components of a comprehensive analgesia pathway that acts like opioids in the human body. When comparing DN and EDN to opioid usage for analgesia, the adverse reactions and the significance of higher adverse reactions in the patient are essential factors to consider; DN and EDN have markedly less adverse effects than opioid use. They show high efficacy for analgesia and operate via similar mechanism of action as opioids. Therefore, the medical community should consider and utilize DN and EDN as an alternative to opioids in certain conditions.","PeriodicalId":92796,"journal":{"name":"International journal of complementary & alternative medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41669389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contemporary South Africa, migrants from neighbouring countries members of African Initiated Churches have refashioned steaming in several ways. Steaming huts are erected at the fringes of the city and men and women steam collectively and in its current form is used to treat conditions believed to have spiritual causes. Steaming for spiritual healing can be seen as a local response to the material, social and spiritual needs of African new urban dwellers. The healing needs of participants in the steaming encompass a range of issues such as infertility and various others health-related issues, difficulties in getting married, persistent unemployment and legal problems, among others. Those who practice it believe steaming brings spiritual protection and helps ensure material success. The healing practices that form part of the steaming are rooted in both African and Christian traditions. Steaming with the purpose to achieve spiritual healing involves invoking the intervention of the Holy Spirit to eliminate obstructions to success bringing to fruition the supplicant’s desires and needs. Participants also hold explanations of its effectiveness based on physical mechanism. Steaming allows the body to be cleansed and rid of impurities. Through steaming, the body opens to absorb the medicine selected to treat the cause of the problems participant present to the prophets who lead the practice. This work documents the current form of this practice in the city paying attention to what drives participants as well as how the body is prepared for cleansing, in manners that make visible the blending of African and Christian traditions.","PeriodicalId":92796,"journal":{"name":"International journal of complementary & alternative medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67072146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This causes swelling, pain and stiffness of joints. Chronic condition may cause debility, deformities of joints and crippling. Unfortunately the man has not succeeded in eradicating this diseases and find to come out with successful therapeutic measures that can cure the patient completely. Ayurveda can play a wide role in treatment of Amavata. So need to study Ayurveda classics with deep understanding is demand of today. Ayurveda texts like charak samhita, sushruta samhita, Ashtang hridya and Asthtang samgrah had widely mentioned about Ama and Amavrita Vata. First time, Madhav nidana mentioned Amavata as separate disease. After that vangsena, chakaradutta, bhaishjya ratnavali has elaborated the treatment modalities of Amavata. Ayurveda focus on Nidaan i.e cause of disease and symptoms of disease. Ayurveda has described detailed list of causative factors of Amavata. So study of this causative factor will help scientific society to eradicate this disease. As we are very well aware that in modern scientific world, cause of Rheumatoid arthritis is still unknown. Ayurveda says chikitsa(Treatment) is Nidaan Parimarjna( removal of cause). When cause of disease is unknown then how a physician can provide proper treatment. This study has focus on nidaan(causative factors), samprapti(Pathogenesis) and Sathyata/ Asathyata (Prognosis) of disease Amavata according to Ayurveda classic texts.","PeriodicalId":92796,"journal":{"name":"International journal of complementary & alternative medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67072200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Sacred Groves are important repositories of floral and faunal diversity that have been conserved by local communities in a sustainable manner. They are present in Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka, and other places and highlight community managed conservation efforts.1 Historically, the protection of nature and wildlife was an ardent article of faith, reflected in the daily lives of people, enshrined in myths, folklore, religion, arts, and culture. Such traditional cultural attitudes, though based on religious faith, have made significant contribution in the protection and propagation of various species of trees and plants in India. ExUse of bael in summer associated with Ramanavami celebration, Durva for Lord Ganesha, Parijatha plant for Lord Krishna, Bilwa for Lord Ishwara and so on. For the people of India, environmental conservation is not a new concept. Sustainability was ingrained in the thought processes of early Indians as evident from the teachings of Vedas. Perhaps no other culture can provide such a profound variety of cultural practices and ecologically sound relationship with nature as the Indian. For eg: a hymn in Atharva Veda (12.1.35) says “Whatever I dig out from you, O Earth! May that have quick regeneration again, may we not damage thy vital habitat and heart.2 Implicit here are the following principles: In the process of harvest no damage should be done to the earth, Humans are forewarned not against the use of nature for survival, but against the overuse and abuse.","PeriodicalId":92796,"journal":{"name":"International journal of complementary & alternative medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45823948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
