About the Journal

International Journal of Integrative and Complementary Medicine is an international peer-reviewed, open-access journal, which covers all evidencebased scientific studies on integrative and complementary approaches to improving health and quality of life. The goal of this journal is to publish important papers from all walks of integrative and complementary medicine and so to initiate an animated discussion and cooperation. The journal aims to be a platform to provide the reader with basic and clinical research in many recognized methods of integrative and complementary medicine, for non-experienced and experienced, motivated persons in the health sector, so that the benefit of these methods can be assessed from a scientific perspective with regard to patient treatment and prevention.
