‘Complementary therapies’ or ‘Alternative therapies’ were not always known as complementary or alternative.

In the past these were the only available therapeutic agents. Traditionally plant, sometimes animal or mineral derived products were used for therapeutic purposes.

In many developing countries patient care still relies extensively on herbal or similar preparations.

The World Health Organization estimates that the extent of this reliance is as high as 80%. [WHO-2004].
