Music Therapy - A Dynamtc Treatment

Abstract

Music therapy is a type of complementary therapy. Alternative and complementary medicine is the name generally given to those medical and health care systems, practices and products that are not presently considered to be the part of conventional Western medicine. The more ancient forms of complementary and alternative medicine are also known as traditional medicine. Well known examples include herbal and other nutritional supplements, acupuncture, aromatherapy, music therapy and homeopathy. "Alternative medicine" refers to the use of CAM in place of conventional medicine. "Integrative medicine" (also called integrated medicine) refers to a practice that combines both conventional and CAM treatments for which there is an evidence of safety and effectiveness.
