Alternative Medicine,
Health, and Healing

Alternative medicine is simply an alternative to what you're likely to find in a typical American hospital. While most doctors will give you an odd look if you mention "energy healing" there are a few who won't. Of course, what's alternative here (in the US) might well be mainstream in other parts of the world.

This site is here to help you explore avenues for inner growth, alternative healing, overall health, and a couple of other things.

Why "gems4friends?" From dictionary.com: gem:

Something that is valued for its beauty or perfection: a little gem of a book.
A beloved or highly prized person.

Perhaps you'll find something here that you will describe as a gem.
