Complementary and alternative medicine. Part 1--what does it all mean?
This is the first of a two part series exploring issues around the use of complementary and alternative medicine in the Australian general practice context. Part 1 discusses the definitions of "complementary and alternative medicine" and their use in the community. Part 2 will give an overview of the available evidence for the benefits and risks of complementary and alternative medicine and an approach to accessing that evidence.
