背景
补充，替代，非传统和综合医学是自历史记录以来，特别是在旧世界，人们已经知道和实践的自然医学类型。这在许多国家被重新发现，包括新大陆，特别是在美国。在这篇评论中，哲学，文化和历史方面进行了讨论，并提到了许多类型的替代医学实践。
意见
对补充医学的研究表明，有证据要求医疗机构更加认真地对待非传统疗法，并认识到它们与传统医学一起使用的情况正在迅速增加。
结论
补充医学在大多数旧世界国家是一种正式的医疗保健方法，预计将融入现代医疗体系，并成为医学课程和医疗机构教学计划的一部分。补充药物的有效性和安全性问题变得越来越重要，需要对所使用的技术和程序进行监督。需要更多的研究来了解和使用这种类型的药物。
BACKGROUND
Complementary, alternative, unconventional, and integrative medicine are types of natural medicine that have been known and practiced ever since the recording of history, and in particular in the Old World. This has been rediscovered in many countries, including the New World and especially in the United States. In this review, the philosophical, cultural, and historical aspects are discussed, and the many types of alternative medical practices are mentioned.
OBSERVATIONS
The study of complementary medicine shows that evidence required the medical establishment to take unconventional therapies more seriously, and realize that their use alongside traditional medicine, is rapidly increasing.
CONCLUSIONS
Complementary medicine is a formal method of health care in most countries of the Old World and is expected to become integrated in the modern medical system and to be part of the medical curriculum and the teaching programs of medical institutions as well. Issues of efficacy and safety of complementary medicine have become increasingly important and supervision of the techniques and procedures used is required. More research studies are needed to understand and use this type of medicine.
