About CAM
CAM therapies range from alternative medicine, such as Chinese medicine and homeopathic medicine, to mind-body techniques such as guided imagery. They offer an emotional and spiritual dimension to traditional care while being a part of wellness, disease treatment and prevention. What is considered CAM therapy is constantly evolving as therapies are increasingly becoming a part of traditional healthcare.
