Alternative and complementary therapies have existed for centuries and in our day are often used in conjunction with medical therapies. Many times an individual has developed a strong affinity for this type of treatment approach and will rely on it more than medical approaches. Nurses need to understand and support the individual in their decision for health promotion.
