Traditional and Complementary Medicine
Modern medicine has reached a point where the patient is not treated as a biopsychosocial-spiritual being but rather is seen as a virtual identity consisting of laboratory findings and images.

Traditional medicine has to be reevaluated with modern scientific methods to complement and integrate with evidence-based modern medicine. | ||
