Various types of traditional medicine and other medical practices
referred to as complementary or alternative medicine are
increasingly used in both developing and developed countries. In
order to promote safe and appropriate use of these medicines and
practices, as well as to ensure the quality of service and
practitioners, national regulations are vital. Establishing
national policies on traditional medicine, and/or
complementary/alternative medicine and their medical practices,
should therefore include creation of legal frameworks. This review
summarizes the legal status of several major practices in
traditional medicine and complementary/alternative medicine in 123
countries. It includes data on: the use of traditional and
complementary/alternative medicine; the regulatory situation of
traditional and complementary/alternative remedies and
practitioners; health insurance coverage of traditional and
complementary/alternative medicine; education and training of
practitioners of traditional and complementary/alternative
medicine. Information provided in this review will be useful not
only to policy makers, but also to researchers, universities, the
public, insurance companies and pharmaceutical industries.
