This chapter has two sections. Drawing on a wide-range of social scientific research, the first provides an introduction to, and overview of, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). It discusses a wide range of baseline issues that will be informative to those unfamiliar with CAM and CAM research, including: definitions, the rise in its provision and use, and the nature of production and consumption. Whilst spatial features are emphasised in the first section, the second section is more squarely geographical in its orientation and engages directly with geographical issues and research. It considers geographies of CAM at the macro-scale of countries and regions and moves on to consider geographies of CAM that exist at the micro-scale. It explores the roles of space and place in CAM materials and practices and also examines the many non-physical spaces that exist in CAM including websites and other cyberspaces, and imagined and visualised spaces in treatments. Throughout the chapter, attention is paid to the nature of “progress” in the geographical study of CAM. The chapter closes with some thoughts on possible avenues for future research inquiry.
