Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a term used to describe medical practices and treatments that are not traditionally used in conventional Western medicine. This can include therapies such as acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, dietary supplements and herbal remedies. These treatments are used alongside conventional medicine to help improve the overall health and wellness of patients, and may be used to treat acute and chronic conditions. CAM offers a viable and effective alternative to traditional treatments and can help improve a patient’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. CAM has been gaining in popularity in recent years as it provides individuals an opportunity to take a more active role in their health and wellness.
