For the practitioner or interested patient, there are current training requirements, listings of organizations, as well as descriptions of treatments.Information on recommended therapies for specific disorders and diseases and medicinal uses for plants and herbs are balanced by conclusions of studies on efficacy and analysis of current levels of acceptance by traditional scientists and doctors.

Included in each entry are glossary sidebars that define key terms.
