Meanings sorted by:

anti-evo
  53

This 'anti-Evo' is another of the few cases where a prefix must be separated from the noun or adjective it modifies because it is a proper noun, and cannot be lowercase. If they were joined they would form a word camelcase (which is case-sensitive), which in Spanish is an error. Of course, they are separated with a space, never with a hyphen, and it should be "anti Evo (Morales?)." See evomoraliano .

terapia alternativa
  34

It should be understood by therapy ( "clinical treatment") and alternative ( "optional to the accepted traditional model" ); but it turns out that when it comes to medicine or health-related issues began to be called 'alternative therapy' to supposed pseudoscientific methods of healing, if not overtly esoteric, which pretend to be a valid option to heal some ailment, and are nothing more than a scam with high risks for the patient. See pseudomedicine, pseudoscience, pseudotherapy.

  
ayurveda
  37

It is another variant of pseudomedicine, based on knowledge (as very new) of the second century AD. C. Although in India they continued to be used and perfected, the fact of having an origin as pseudoscience trumpeting cosmic influences and similarities between elements equivalent to alchemicals with bodily humors, makes it considered in the West an alternative therapy, with all that this label means. Some of its herbal preparations may have beneficial effects on health, but they have not been scientifically studied and must be distinguished from other of their mejunjes that are toxic to humans. The origin of the name is Sanskrit , where 2310; 2351; 2369; 2352; 2381; 2357; 2375; 2342; ( aiurvedá ) means "knowledge about life" . See pseudotherapy .

  
reiki
  34

It is a spiritual therapy originated in Japan that supposes manipulable energies on a person. Using his hands a reikista can transmit his energy to a sick person and thus relieve his evil, even by proximity, without physical contact; but do not cure it. Here the key word is 'spiritual', reiki is not a medical treatment nor is there scientific evidence of those energies. It was created by the Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui in the first half of the twentieth century, and called it 38666; 27671; ( reiki ) by 38666; ( rei "divine , supernatural") and 27671; ( ki "energy , mood , spiritual strength") .

  
flores de bach
  28

It is a humanitarian therapy created by the physician and homeopath Edward Bach in the early twentieth century. Aware of the limitations of his profession, he began to study homeopathy in order to offer placebos to his patients as a form of comfort in the face of diseases he did not know how to cure. As he was convinced that physical ills were directly related to the mood, he himself concentrated to feel as if he had an illness and approached different flowers until some made him feel better, then collected the dew of his petals that should have their essence and diluted it in alcohol to create a mejunje that offered selflessly to those who suffered from the disease that - he said - healed that plant. Of course I knew it didn't cure anything , it was just a pious lie to improve the quality of life of a sick person whom science still could not help. The problem appeared years later when scammers offered the treatment as if it were real, and charged it. See similia similibus curantur, pseudomedicine.

  
ortomolecular
  37

It is a naturist concept for the balance of health (especially through food) maintaining the correct or more favorable proportions for the body of vitamins, proteins, amino acids, liquids, . . . The name was proposed in 1967 by the American biochemist Linus Carl Pauling (Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954 and Peace Prize in 1962), and consists of the Greek 959; 961; 952; 959; (ortho "straight, correct") the latin molecule voice ("minimal compound that maintains its qualities") . The adjective is used in food as 'orthomolecular kitchen', which takes care of the combination of ingredients for proper nutrition; but also in pseudomedical therapies that promise cures using dietary supplements, something that has no scientific basis. See pseudomedicine .

  
pseudoterapia
  40

A 'pseudotherapy' is a "false medical treatment that appears to be effective", usually promoted by psychotics with healing delusions or by scammers who profit from the disease of others. They have euphemistic names such as "alternative therapy", sometimes "integrative therapy" or "complementary therapy", although in most cases they influence the patient to abandon medical treatment. It is formed by the prefix pseudo- ( "which looks like , but is not" ) therapy ( "treatment" ). See pseudomedicine
