Complementary and Integrative Healthcare Approaches and Definitions

Explore different healthcare philosophies, methods, and traditions—so you can better understand what they offer, how they differ, and how they view health, healing, and the body.

We believe you should have trusted information and context when exploring complementary and integrative healthcare.

On this page, you’ll find a growing library of healthcare approaches that many people explore alongside—or sometimes instead of—conventional care.

Each overview offers a brief introduction to that healthcare approach and how it might help you. 

Our intention is not to tell you what to choose, but to help you explore these perspectives with greater clarity and confidence.
