Overview

Complementary treatment is an approach to improving health and well-being that involves combining conventional medical therapy with alternative interventions. The treatments are used as adjuncts or as an alternative to conventional medicine. These therapies include acupuncture, massage, yoga, herbal medicine and homeopathy. They are based on traditional healing practices from around the world, but have been tailored and adapted for the modern world. Complementary treatments can be used to treat a wide range of ailments and medical conditions, such as chronic pain, sleep disorder, depression, anxiety, stress, and gastrointestinal issues. These treatments can also be used to improve overall health and wellbeing, by supporting the body’s natural healing process, and helping to manage illness. Complementary treatments can help improve mental clarity and concentration, reduce fatigue and fatigue-related symptoms, and promote relaxation.
