OverviewComplementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a broad label that applies to many types of treatments and therapies. CAM treatments and therapies can be used as an alternative to the type of medicine that we expect a traditional health care provider in the United States to practice, or in combination with it.

The term integrative medicine is also used when explaining CAM. (More)General Information
