Question: What is complementary and alternative medicine?
Answer: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be a part of conventional medicine.1 People use CAM therapies in a variety of ways. CAM therapies used alone are often referred to as "alternative." When used in addition to conventional medicine, they are often referred to as "complementary." The list of what is considered to be CAM changes continually, as those therapies that are proven to be safe and effective become adopted into conventional health care and as new approaches to health care emerge.Complimentary and Alternative medicine are therapies we used for thousands and thousands of years that only are damaging when your therapist is a quack now used to be an addition to regular conventional medicine mostly on a Herbal or Meditation bases.Regular Conventional Medicine has only been widely applied after WW2 is mostly Chemically based and can even be hazardous in the hands of skilled Doctors.
