Abstract
Integrative medicine is becoming more popular, not only in developing nations, but also in countries such as the United States. Acupuncture, which is practiced more than any other kind of alternative medicine, is based on the philosophy and culture of old Chinese healing. Pressure, massage, and touch healing depend on stimulation by the fingers rather than needles, although they are based on acupuncture principles. Touch has social, educational, cultural, and humanitarian aspects. Touch therapy has been shown to have excellent effects on children's growth, development, and emotional well-being. In adults, a 15-minute rubdown by fingertips can lead to relaxation and sleep. It is also useful for premature babies. Such therapies were practiced in the Old World, but have been rediscovered in the New World. They represent some aspects of the old, noble art of healing.
