Alternate Healing Systems

Cultures differ considerably in their views about health and illness, and may have strong beliefs in alternate healing systems such as acupuncture among Chinese-Americans, Ayurvedic medicine among Asian-Indians, and religious/spiritual ceremonies among Hmong and Native American individuals. These systems are not always evidence-based but are frequently critical for clients’ satisfaction. Some third-party payers are responding to this; the Arizona VA partly reimburses Navajo veterans receiving treatment from medicine men.
