Some Alternative Treatment Methods Used in Veterinary Obstetrics and Gynecology

Abstract

Alternative medicine, also defined as integrative or complementary medicine, is a term that describes the medical procedures used instead of convational treatments. Instead of symptomatic treatment of diseases, in alternative treatment the body is handled as a whole and treated by stimulating the problematic system. In this review, acupuncture, phytotherapy and homeopathy applications which are commonly used alternative treatment methods for many years in the field of veterinary obstetrics and gynecology have been investigated.

Veteriner Doğum ve Jinekolojide Kullanılan Bazı Alternatif Tedavi Yöntemleri

Abstract

Tamamlayıcı veya bütünleyici tıp olarak da tanımlanan “Alternatif tıp” geleneksel tedavilerin yerine kullanılan tıbbi işlemleri tanımlayan bir terimdir. Alternatif tedavide hastalıkların semptomatik tedavisi yerine vücut bir bütün olarak görülüp sorunlu sistem uyarılarak tedavi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu derlemede veteriner doğum ve jinekoloji alanında yıllardır en çok kullanılan altenatif tedavi yöntemleri olan akupunktur, fitoterapi ve homeopati uygulamaları incelenmiştir.
