Abstract:
In addition to its advantages (technological progress, high-performance medical treatment, multiple information sources, new
communication systems), the 21st century brings many disadvantages, such as: professional stress due to the uncertainty of
the future and to the increasingly higher professional performance indicators, the quality of interpersonal relationships, an
imbalance between professional and personal life, a lack of interest in self-knowledge. Besides all these stress factors, certain
drugs, inadequate nutrition both in terms of quantity and quality, a small number of meals eaten per day, a late last meal, as
well as late bedtime cause an increase of gastric secretion. Depending on the psychosomatic profile of patients, these can be
divided into two main categories: patients who accept drug therapy and patients who prefer alternative therapies. This review
aims to present all types of alternative therapies, for which preclinical studies are available.
