Integrative medicine is the incorporation of complementary therapies derived from ancient healing arts into mainstream medical care. These therapies help patients manage stress, reduce symptoms, improve quality of life and promote a sense of wellness. Complementary therapies are those that are not currently part of conventional medicine, but have demonstrated a favorable risk/benefit ratio to be used as part of supportive care. There are also alternative therapies, those which are promoted to be used in place of standard medical care. Together they are called CAM, for complementary and alternative medicine.
