Complementary medicine refers to a group of healing and diagnostic therapies that exist outside the remit of conventional medicine.
Broadly based on the philosophy that good health and well-being are dependent on a balance of body, mind and spirit, complementary therapies are often used alongside conventional treatments to induce the body's natural healing process. Some treatments may also be offered in place of conventional medicine, in which case they are known as alternative therapies. In practice, there is a great deal of overlap between the two categories, for example a treatment may be used as a complementary therapy in some circumstances or alone as an alternative therapy in others. Examples of complementary and alternative therapies include acupuncture, chiropractic, Reiki, Ayurveda and osteopathy.
