Complementary therapy may help when used along with traditional medicine but not without the latter. Many terms are used to describe approaches to asthma care outside the realm of optimum asthma care. Some scientific evidence exists for some complementary therapies but, for most, key evidences are lacking. For example, many believe that yoga will cure asthma. But it only complements mainline asthma therapy. This brings us to an important question: the difference between complementary therapy and alternative therapy. Complementary therapy is used along with routine treatment. Alternative treatment is an alternative to conventional medicine.

Complementary therapy uses non-traditional treatment such as massage, yoga and similar treatments in conjunction with traditional therapy. These complement the use of prescription medication and other treatment provided by the doctor. Alternative therapy means that herbal and other natural treatments are implemented, often in place of traditional therapies. Sometimes, however, these are used along with traditional therapies just as in complementary therapies.

At one time, complementary and alternative asthma therapies were considered to be on the fringe and frowned upon. While your doctor may not suggest an alternative or complementary therapy, if you are considering trying it, talk to your healthcare provider. Learn everything you can about alternative or complementary asthma treatments before trying any one. Asthma treatment is serious business. If you do find that a companion therapy works well, such as yoga combined with traditional medicine or acupuncture in addition to physician’s treatments, then there is no reason to discontinue the alternative or complementary treatments.

Spas around the world are luring guests and well-seekers with wild and wacky treatments.

Check this one out. Eau de…vin? This wine is not suitable for drinking, or is it? Bathers soak in the red wine bath of Hakone Kowakien Yunessun (a Japanese spa with theme baths) in Kowakien, Hakone, Japan. Real red wine is poured into the water. Bathing in red wine rejuvenates the body and supposedly even Cleopatra used to bathe in red wine. Hakone is a mountain famous for its hot springs and Japanese style spa, not to mention its breathtaking views of Mount Fuji.

It looks like a scene out of “Indiana Jones,” but it’s actually the scene of a serene spa day. Liz Cohen receives a treatment by letting snakes loose on her body at a spa in the northern communal village of Talmey El’Azar, Israel. Ada Barak, the owner of the spa, uses California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes and milk snakes in her treatments, which she said were inspired by her belief that once people get over any initial misgivings, they find physical contact with the creatures to be soothing.

Several hundreds of apples a day keep the doctors away, at least this spa hopes. Diana Hadi, a staff member at Malaysia’s Tiara Beach Resort, poses in a swimming pool with some 20,000 apples in it in an attempt to set the national record for “The Most Number of Apples Used In Spa Therapy” in Port Dickson, 75 miles south of Kuala Lumpur.

You’ve heard of beer-battered chicken and other meats, but have you heard of a beer bath? Nothing like some pale ale to help rejuvenate the skin. Jarmila Kovarikova, 26, left, enjoys a soak in the Real Beer Bath in the town of Chodova Plana, Czech Republic. The spa, believed to be the world’s first beer health center, has opened a hotel at the Chodovar family brewery. The spa offers a soothing hot bath containing healing mineral water and a dark bathing beer. This original curative therapy claims to have rejuvenating effects. There is also a bathside bar so you can sip beer while soaking in it.

It’s every parents cleaning nightmare — a chocolate-covered kid. But at this spa in Japan, bathing in chocolate is the thing to do. A girl tastes the water in a bath incorporating chocolate at a hot spring spa resort in Hakone, west of Tokyo. The resort says the bath containing cacao extract and trehalose has the effect of keeping moisture in the skin and producing beautiful skin.

Two models play in fake snow descending from the ceiling in Qua’s Arctic Ice Room at the Caesars Palace hotel-casino in Las Vegas. Some people come to Las Vegas to enjoy the clear skies and warm days, but at a new spa that opened at Caesar’s Palace, there is a treatment room where it snows all year long. Welcome to Qua’s Arctic Ice Room, where “snow” gently descends from a domed ceiling through mint-infused air chilled to 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

That looks more like tar than a soothing bath, but Ramil Mutukhov, from Baleken, Azerbaijan, lays in a bath of Naftalan to help with his back pain.

Move over Dr. Scholls, there’s a new foot therapy in town. Japanese visitors enjoy the “Dr. Fish” bath at Hakone Kowakien in a hot spring resort, west of Tokyo. The resort hotel opened the Dr. Fish bath that contains 1,000 West Asian fish. The Garra rufa fish used in this spa is known as “Doctor Fish” since it feeds on the dead skin from the feet of visitors and is believed by some to cure skin diseases.

Talk about the golden touch. Here a model demonstrates the use of Umo Inc.’s 24-carat gold leaf “gold facial treatment” in Tokyo. The treatment costs roughly $250. For that I think I’d rather a fine piece of gold jewelry than a gold facial.
