Complimentary and Alternative Medicine

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) refers to a diverse range of medical practices and products that are not typically part of standard medical care. "Complementary" therapies are used alongside conventional treatments, such as acupuncture or yoga to help manage symptoms and improve well-being. "Alternative" therapies are used instead of standard medicine and include practices like herbal medicine or homeopathy. While some CAM approaches are backed by scientific evidence, others lack rigorous validation. It’s essential for individuals to consult healthcare professionals before incorporating CAM into their health regimen to ensure safety and efficacy.
