READING 11: COMPLEMENTARY & ALTERNATIVE MEDICINES
A.
DEFINITION:
Every available
approach to healing that does not fall within the realm of conventional
medicine. The boundaries of alternative medicine are constantly changing as
different types of care are becoming more accepted by doctors & more
requested by patients.
Some alternative
medicine practices are homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture &
herbal medicine. Alternative medicine is often associated with complementary
medicine using the term CAM (Complementary
& Alternative Medicine). Therefore,
both herbal remedies & meditation, as well as other treatments, fall under
the heading of CAM.
