Alternative Medicine

Treating disease with medications is well understood by most people. When it comes to herbal medications many questions arise.

Herbals are an innovative area in medical care and much of the research is still new. Learning about the possible benefits of herbal medications is the goal of several sessions at ADA's Food & Nutrition Conference & Exhibition.

Sessions will include discussions on current research on herbals in treatment of dementia, PMS, and heart disease. In addition to herbal therapy, other alternative therapies are being reviewed. Functional foods, vitamin supplementation, and dietary supplements are a few of the other scheduled sessions.
