Complementary and integrative medicine refers to health care approaches developed
separately from conventional Western medicine. Complementary means that it is used
together with conventional medicine. Integrative means that it centers a full range
of physical, emotional, and environmental aspects in a person’s health. Approximately
one-third of adults in the United States have reported the use of complementary and
integrative medicine to improve health and wellness and relieve symptoms related to
chronic disease.
