Abstract

Complementary and alternative therapies are those used alongside or in place of conventional Western medicine. These therapies include a variety of treatments that provide alternatives to traditional approaches. In terms of oral intake, they include dietary therapy as well as herbal medicine, supplements and health foods. When properly incorporated, such therapies can improve nutritional status and help maintain health and they are sometimes used to support overall well-being. One complementary/alternative therapy is animal-assisted therapy, which promotes emotional healing and reduces stress through interaction with animals. Nutrition and animal-assisted therapy are indirectly linked.
