Abstract:
We have all heard the terms “complementary medicine” and “alternative medicine” on the TV or somewhere else, but what do they really mean?lternative medicine is a collective name for methods pretending on the ability to treat (or prevent) disease. There are five major categories of complementary and alternative medicine therapies.

Abstract:
There has been an upsurge in the use of Complementary and Alternate Medicines (CAMs) in both developed and developing countries. Although herbal medicines have been in use for many centuries, their quality, safety and efficacy are still of major concern. Many countries are in the process of integrating CAMs into conventional health care systems based on the knowledge and use of traditional medicines. The quality control (QC) of herbal products usually presents a formidable analytical challenge in view of the complexity of the constituents in plant material and the commercial non-availability o

There is an underlying need to gather information for a better understanding of the mechanisms of action, safety, efficacy and cost-effectiveness of CAM. Once this information has been collected, the research needs to be distributed amongst healthcare professionals, the public and governing bodies.

Abstract:
The complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) industry is worth over US$110 billion globally. Products are available to consumers with little medical advice; with many assuming that such products are ‘natural’ and therefore safe. However, with adulterated, contaminated and fraudulent products reported on overseas markets, consumers may be placing their health at risk. Previous studies into product content have reported undeclared plant materials, ingredient substitution, adulteration and contamination. However, no large-scale, independent audit of CAM has been undertaken to demonstrate the

A wide variety of nonconventional medicines are used by patients for the treatment HIV and for symptoms associated with HIV.

Abstract:
Integrative medicine (IM) has organized as a new area of specialization in mainstream healthcare. The development of IM is widely attributed to popular demand for the range of therapies known collectively as Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). During the 1990's the rate of acceptance of CAM accelerated among consumers, professions, financing and education.
