Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) describes the scope of natural and non-invasive therapies that have evolved over thousands of years to successfully maintain good health. Hippocrates, the father of western medicine, supported the principles of alternative medicine practices by recognizing that hygiene, a calm balanced mental state, proper diet, a sound work and home environment and physical conditioning were necessary to prevent conditions that cause disease.
