Abstract

The article discusses complementary alternative medicine (CAM) techniques for infertility. The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has divided CAM into five domains that include whole medical systems, mind-body medicine and biologically based practices. It concludes that one main benefit of CAM is the holistic approach to treatment that is congruent with nursing practice.
