Mind-body techniques.
Biologically based practices.
Whole Medical Systems are -
- Ayurveda.

The NCCAM divides CAM into four major domains—Mind-Body Medicine, Manipulative and Body-Based Practices, Energy Medicine, and Biologically-Based Practices.
Examples of complementary medicine include: Alternative health approaches such as Ayurvada, traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, and naturopathy. Mind and body practices like acupuncture, massage therapy, and tai chi. Natural health products like herbs, dietary supplements, and probiotics.
Complementary medicine is treatments that are used along with standard medical treatments but are not considered to be standard treatments. One example is using acupuncture to help lessen some side effects of cancer treatment. Alternative medicine is treatments that are used instead of standard medical treatments.
Are there any pottential side effects of Alternative Medicine?
Side effects – complementary medicines can cause unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects. For example, the herb - feverfew can cause uterine contractions and possible miscarriage in pregnant women. Drug interactions – complementary medicines can interact with over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
Examples of alternative practices include homeopathy, traditional medicine, chiropractic, and acupuncture. Complementary medicine is different from alternative medicine.

By understanding and treating the disease, Chiropractors and other alternative medicine professionals are able to work at the root of the problem.
Alternative medicine is a term that describes medical treatments that are used instead of traditional (mainstream) therapies. Some people also refer to it as “integrative,” or “complementary” medicine. More than half of adults in the United States say they use some form of alternative medicine.
