Abstract
AS THE PUBLIC demand for complementary (or "alternative") medicine increases, there are more calls for the integration of complementary medicine into national health care systems. With the increased emphasis on evidence-based medicine,1 decisions on integrating complementary medicine into routine clinical practice should be made on the basis of reliable evidence of efficacy and safety and not public demand.Keywords
