Alternative and Complementary Medicine
Alternative and complementary medicine is a wide variety of medical and healthcare practices that are not typically part of mainstream medicine. These practices may include herbal treatments, yoga and other forms of exercise, relaxation techniques, acupuncture, massage and other bodywork, and dietary modifications. Alternative and complementary medicine may be used as a complementary therapy to conventional medicine, or it may be used in place of conventional medicine. It has become increasingly popular in recent years and is used to treat a variety of conditions, from chronic pain and stress to cancer and heart disease. Research has shown that many alternative and complementary medicine practices can be beneficial for health and well-being, often resulting in improved quality of life for those who use them.
