Are you interested in learning more about current research in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies for stress management, but aren't sure where to start? Well, look no further, you’re in the right place.
Information is out there everywhere: on the web, in the library, and in everyday life. There is a lot of information, but when it comes to holistic health, the more current the information is the better. Why? Because, the more current the research the more likely the source is going to provide credible information (Nova Southeastern University). Thus, I’ve provided you with a list of where you can find the most current information on CAM therapies for stress management. Now, sit back, relax, and dive into these stress management sources with ease.
Google Scholar, a subset of Google, is a search engine that indexes full text or citations of scholarly literature across all disciplines, and the best part about it is that it’s free! (About Google Scholar). Similar to CAM on PubMed, Google Scholar has limiters, such as a publication date limiter. If you follow the link above, you will see the most recent (2011-2017) research on “CAM Therapies AND Stress Management.”
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is “the Federal Government’s lead agency for scientific research on the diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine” (NCCIH).
NCCIH has a page dedicated to current holistic research and information on stress and relaxation techniques. There is general information for consumers, health professionals, and a “research spotlights” section, which is dedicated to the most current research on holistic health practices and stress. The website is occasionally updated, and the dated is always noted at the bottom of the page.
