Aim & Scope
The Journal of Complementary Research and Alternative Medicine (ISSN: 3067-2422) aims to serve as an authoritative platform for publishing high-quality research that explores alternative and complementary therapies in medicine. Our focus is on research that investigates the safety, efficacy, and scientific basis of treatments outside the realm of conventional medicine. We encourage studies that provide evidence for the effectiveness of non-mainstream therapies in enhancing health, preventing illness, and promoting well-being.
Our scope includes studies on various complementary and alternative medicine modalities, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, mind-body therapies, nutrition, homeopathy, and integrative healthcare approaches. The journal is dedicated to the promotion of holistic health and wellness and aims to provide a space for dialogue between alternative medicine practitioners and the broader medical community.
Key Areas of Interest:
- Herbal and Phytotherapy Research: Original research and clinical trials investigating the use of medicinal plants, extracts, and herbal preparations in the treatment of diseases.
- Traditional Medicine Systems: Research related to traditional systems of medicine, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and other indigenous healing practices.
- Acupuncture and Energy Therapies: Articles on the clinical application, mechanisms, and effectiveness of acupuncture and other energy-based therapies such as Reiki and therapeutic touch.
- Mind-Body Medicine: Research into the therapeutic effects of mind-body practices, including meditation, yoga, biofeedback, and other stress-reduction techniques.
- Nutritional and Dietary Interventions: Studies examining the role of nutrition, diet, and supplements in promoting health, preventing disease, and managing chronic conditions.
- Integrative Medicine and Health: Research focused on the integration of alternative therapies into mainstream healthcare, highlighting multidisciplinary approaches to patient care.
- Alternative Therapies in Mental Health: Research on the use of complementary therapies such as mindfulness, yoga, and other mental health interventions in managing mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
- Clinical Applications and Outcomes: Studies exploring the real-world effectiveness of complementary and alternative treatments in various patient populations.
The journal seeks to publish both fundamental and applied research that enhances the understanding of CAM and supports its integration into mainstream healthcare where appropriate. We aim to provide a forum for the scientific exploration of alternative medicine, contributing to the broader acceptance and understanding of these therapies in clinical settings.
