Medicine that is used along with conventional medicine is known as complementary medicine. On the other hand, alternative medicine is the medicine that is used in place of conventional medicine. Optimization of combined treatment by using conventional medicine and complementary medicine is very important for better results. Use of Meditation, Massage, Acupuncture, and herbs come under the category of complementary medicine. Studies have shown that the intake of supplements like vitamins can increase the risk of breast cancer, as some supplements might be having anti-cancer properties. So, alternative, complementary medicine and intake of supplements can minimize the risk of breast cancer.
