Abstract

Despite dramatic advances in medical science and evidence-based practice, many people turn to other healing approaches, some derived from ancient medical traditions and others from new-age concepts. Although extraordinarily diverse in their nature and purpose, these approaches share enormous appeal, often despite the lack of compelling evidence that they are safe or effective. The term alternative medicine is used to indicate practices that are used instead of mainstream approaches, whereas complementary medicine refers to practices that are used as adjuncts to conventional medicine. The most recent term for these approaches, integrative medicine, signals the hope that conventional medicine can embrace any modality that proves to be safe and effective, regardless of its origins, under a more inclusive health care umbrella.
