Combining OT and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)

I was wondering if there is anyone currently intergrating CAM into their OT practice or has some experience in this area.

Thank you

Hi Helen, Here are a few more comments gathered, in response to your question:

Kim: "Yes! We need to heal all our bodies. Physical, emotional, spiritual and mental! I’ve just finished certifications in energy healing and meditation teacher also since these things also helped me with my grief after the loss of my son. And the trauma I didn’t even realize I was holding on to which started causing physical ailments. I want to get OT and holistic healing back into the mental health hospitals and in healthcare in general! It is overdue!" Jessica: "Indeed! Integrating evidence based practices of meditation and yoga has been wonderful for my holistic work as an OT in the mental health and neurodiversity space."


Nikki: "Yes I have been working with integration of Mind Body Spirit for some time now. Separation is not the answer; our health care systems need to integrate."


Margret: "Ayurveda is traditional medicine from India, not an alternative therapy. Alternative to what? To biomedical Western medicine? Define what you understand as standard, please."

Ismira: "Only yoga and meditation are backed up by science/peer review. Of course there is placebo too. Let’s not mix myth with science." Helen: "Hello yes we do at Rise and Rewild."
