Complementary therapy, imho... for example... there are studies showing the inhaled use of peppermint oil will help counteract post surgical nausea. Does this mean that it will replace the need for surgery? I don't THINK so.... but it provides a safe and inexpensive alternative for dealing with a miserable side effect.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 See, you and I agree Marge. Take breast cancer for another example, Using oils can help with the after effects of radiation etc, but no way would I EVER try and cure any kind serious condition like that with oils. What I'm wondering really is, are people interchanging the word " complementary " with " alternative " without really thinking of the definition or do they seriously mean " alternative " . See, I think people are using both words to mean the same thing. Obviously not everyone, but a lot of folks. Especially when describing a different kind of therapy, such as homeopathy, herbalism etc. I find them listed so many times under the heading of " alternative therapies " and Rarely if ever under " complementary therapies.
