What is CAM?

CAM is "Complementary & Alternative Medicine". Complementary & Alternative Medicine are two different categories.

  • Complementary Medicine is used together with conventional medicine (medical care)
  • Alternative Medicine is treatment that is implemented instead of conventional medicine.

Integrative medicine actually is a combination of these. Combining Complementary & Alternative medicine creates a branch of medicine called "integrative medicine".
