Complementary therapies are a diverse range of practices and treatments that are used alongside conventional medical treatments to support overall health and well-being. These therapies often focus on holistic approaches to healing, taking into account the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of a person's health. Some common examples of complementary therapies include acupuncture, massage therapy, herbal medicine, meditation, yoga, and chiropractic care. Research in the field of complementary therapies aims to explore the effectiveness, safety, and mechanisms of action of these practices. Studies may investigate the benefits of specific therapies for various health conditions, examine how these therapies can be integrated into conventional medical care, and explore the potential interactions between complementary and conventional treatments. Overall, research in this area seeks to provide evidence-based information to guide healthcare providers, patients, and policymakers in making informed decisions about the use of complementary therapies in healthcare.
