Complementary (or holistic) therapies encompass a diverse range of practices and treatments that support and enhance conventional medical care. These therapies focus on the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—promoting natural healing processes and overall well-being.
While Western medicine offers many advanced medical treatments and technologies, complementary therapies provide additional avenues for achieving holistic health.
When used alongside conventional medicine, these complementary therapies can enhance overall wellness, promote healing, and improve quality of life.

How Complementary Therapies Work
Complementary therapies often draw from ancient traditions and holistic practices that have stood the test of time. These therapies can work in several ways to support health and wellness:
- Enhancing the Body’s Natural Healing Abilities
Many complementary therapies aim to stimulate the body’s innate healing mechanisms. For example, acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to balance energy flow and promote healing. - Reducing Stress and Promoting relaxation
Stress is a significant factor in many health conditions. Therapies like massage, yoga, and meditation help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve mental well-being. - Improving Circulation and Energy Flow
Practices such as acupuncture and reflexology focus on enhancing blood flow and balancing energy within the body, which can lead to better overall health and vitality. - Supporting Emotional and Mental Health
Complementary therapies often address the emotional and mental aspects of health. Aromatherapy, for instance, uses essential oils to influence mood and emotional well-being.
