Yes, they are different. • Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine. An example of a complementary therapy is using aromatherapy (original) to help lessen a patient’s discomfort following surgery. • Alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. An example of an alternative multiple myeloma treatment therapy is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of undergoing surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy that has been recommended by a conventional doctor.
