AB Complementary  and  integrative  health  (cih)  interventions,  as  operationalized  by  the  National  Center  for  Complementary  and  Integrative  Health  (NCCIH)  and  the  Veteran  Health  Administration  (VHA)  (VHA  Directive,  2017–1137),  includes  a  diverse  group  of  treatments,  many  of  which  are  already  in  use  by  the  public.  The  World  Health  Organization  has  noted  that  between  65%  and  80%  of  the  global  population  uses  some  form  of  alternative  or  complementary  medicine.1  Oftentimes,  such  practices  are  combined  with  accepted  Western  medicine  practices,  and  therefore  the  term  “complementary”  (as  opposed  to  “alternative”  in  which  the  treatment  replaces  traditional  allopathic  medical  management)  has  been  used.  A  brief  overview  of  such  practices  is  provided  in  Table  47–1.
