    Complementary to Medicine

    In this series, we have looked at the fundamental right of all people to choose what health-care they use. 

    In week 2, we looked at the role of Conventional Medicine. In week 3, we looked at Complementary Medicine. This week, we look at Complementary to Medicine

    What is Complementary to Medicine? 

    Complementary to Medicine means therapies that work alongside and not instead of conventional medicine, supporting the work that conventional medicine does. They deliberately work together with conventional medicine so that both are used for the benefit of the client. 

    These include therapies such as Chakra-puncture. They work hand in hand with conventional medicine. 

    For instance a person receiving chemotherapy may receive a Complementary to Medicine therapy to offer support to their body during the course of chemotherapy treatment. 

    Conventional Medicine is held in very high regard as effectively performing miracles on a daily basis that save people from often dire symptoms. Complementary to Medicine therapies can support Conventional Medicine’s work, and the body and person that receives it.
