What is complementary medicine?
Complementary medicine is a term used for a wide variety of health care practices that may be used along with standard medical treatment.
People often use yoga, meditation, and other complementary practices to improve wellness and quality of life. But in recent years, more people in Canada have been turning to complementary medicine to help treat a wide range of conditions from hot flashes to high blood pressure. Other examples of complementary medicine include acupuncture, herbal remedies, naturopathic medicine, massage therapy, and light therapy.
