Complementary medicine

Complementary medicine or alternative medicine treats people holistically. It encompasses various diagnostic procedures, healing methods, and remedies. Complementary medicine focuses on the triggers of the disease. If conventional medical treatment of a disease does not work as desired, complementary medicine can offer a natural alternative. It complements ongoing therapy or sometimes even replaces it.
