The field of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has been growing rapidly in recent years, as more and more people seek out non-traditional approaches to healthcare. CAM encompasses a wide range of therapies, including acupuncture, chiropractic, herbal medicine, massage therapy, and yoga. While some CAM therapies have been shown to be effective for certain conditions, others have not. This can make it difficult for clinicians to know which CAM therapies to recommend to their patients.

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a process for making decisions about healthcare based on the best available evidence. EBP involves using scientific research to evaluate the risks and benefits of different treatment options. This information can then be used to make informed decisions about which treatments are most likely to be effective for individual patients.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in using EBP to evaluate CAM therapies. This has led to the development of a number of resources that can help clinicians make evidence-based decisions about CAM. One such resource is the book Evidence-Based Practice in Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
