What is complementary therapy?
Complementary therapy is identified by various diverse terms: alternative therapy, alternative medicine, holistic therapy, health and wellness, holistic training and traditional medicine. An extensive variety of treatments exists under the term ‘complementary therapy’, which makes it difficult to offer an over-all definition. Complementary therapies are used in conjunction with conventional medical treatments. Although some therapies are grounded on principles that are not recognised by conventional medicine, it has been proven on evidence-based outcomes to be very effective for a multitude of health conditions.
