| Abstract: | (from the chapter) This chapter includes descriptions of mindfulness, yoga, meditation, rituals, spirituality, creative arts therapies, and herbal medicine. It is not intended to be an all-inclusive survey of CAM therapies for older persons as part of disaster preparedness. It is intended to describe the general reasons that CAM might be effective and describe in detail several specific treatments, applications, and recommendations. The application of these modalities for professional and family caregivers is equally important. Caregivers are the primary contact for older persons. If the caregiver is distressed, the older person also will be distressed. CAM modalities offer a means to heal and support both caregiver and care receiver.
