Overview

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is a wide range of health care practices that are not typically part of conventional medicine. These therapies may include herbal supplements, acupuncture, mind-body techniques, chiropractic, homeopathy, naturopathy, and more. CAM has become increasingly popular in recent years as many people seek out natural and holistic approaches to their health care. The purpose of CAM is to improve overall health and well-being by helping the body restore its natural balance, which is thought to lead to improved physical, mental, and emotional health. This type of medicine is often used to complement conventional treatments, helping to reduce the side effects associated with traditional therapies. It also has the potential to offer relief for a range of physical and mental health problems, including headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and more.
