Many complementary therapies concentrate on relaxation and reducing stress. They might help to calm your emotions, relieve anxiety, and increase your general sense of health and well being. Many doctors, cancer nurses and researchers are interested in the idea that positive emotions can improve your health.

This field includes the more mainstream and accepted forms of therapy, such as acupuncture, homeopathy, and Oriental practices. These therapies have been practiced for centuries worldwide.

The disadvantages of CAM therapies include the lack of standardization of either the practice or the dispensing of the therapies and techniques. In addition, for many of these modalities, no standard format exists to ensure that practitioners are adequately trained in the techniques they use. Non-traditional therapy can include yoga, meditation, music therapy, art therapy, adventure therapy, and more. Non-traditional therapy also referred to as complementary or alternative medicine, is not intended to replace traditional treatment. Complementary medicine focuses on the interactions between your mind, your body, and your behavior. Research has shown that your emotional state, both good and not so good, affects your immune system's ability to fight off disease. Yoga is a healing system of theory and practice, its a combination of breathing exercises, physical postures, and meditation, practiced for over 5,000 years. People use complementary and alternative medicine because: they wish to use treatments that are more natural and help them feel more in control. they have persistent pain. they have concerns about the side-effects of medication.
