Special Issue on Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard medical care. Some CAM therapies have undergone careful evaluation and have found to be safe and effective. However there are others that have been found to be ineffective or possibly harmful.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Botanical medicine
• Acupuncture and traditional chinese medicine
• Mind-body medicine
• Nutrition and dietary supplements
• Yoga
• Ayurveda
• Naturopathy
• Homeopathy
• Tai Chi
• Qi Gung
• Massage therapy
• Subtle energies and energy medicine
• Neurostimulation
• Integrative biophysics

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Complementary and Alternative Medicine” should be selected during your submission.
