COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE (CAM)

Complementary and alternative medicine practices (CAM), gaining more legal recognition, are used in conjunction with modern medicine. These worldwide practices encompass acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, yoga, and more. They can be grouped into five categories: ancient/traditional systems like Chinese medicine, mind-body interventions like yoga, biologically based therapies using natural supplements, manipulative and physically based therapies like reflexology, and energy therapies like Reiki.
