The merging of conventional therapies with established complementary and alternative medicine is known as integrative medicine. Alternative medicine replaces conventional therapies with non-Western healing methods. Naturopathic medicine is based on the use of the body's natural healing forces to recover from disease and to achieve wellness. Homeopathic medicine is an al-ternative medical system in which a small amount of a diluted substance is prescribed to relieve symptoms for which the same substance, given in larger amounts, will cause the same symptoms.
