Alternative medicine refers to healing practices that are used outside conventional medical care. The field covers a wide range of systems and practices, including naturopathy, Ayurveda, herbal therapies, acupuncture, acupressure, homeopathy, yoga, meditation, massage, hydrotherapy, and reflexology. The report distinguishes alternative medicine from complementary medicine, which may be used alongside standard healthcare. Practices can have different classifications depending on the healthcare system and cultural context in which they are used.
Naturopathy is a system of care that uses approaches such as diet, fasting, hydrotherapy, mud therapy, massage, and other natural or supportive practices. The report covers a broad range of naturopathy treatments, including mud packs and baths, water-based therapies, massage, air therapy, chromotherapy, magnet therapy, herbal treatments, steam and sauna therapies, and specialized hydrotherapy procedures. Individual treatments and their suitability can vary, so professional assessment and appropriate safety procedures are important when providing naturopathic care.
Complementary medicine is generally used together with conventional healthcare, whereas alternative medicine is used in place of conventional care. The distinction depends on how a practice is being used rather than simply on the practice itself. For example, a person may use a complementary therapy alongside standard medical treatment. The report also notes that healthcare practices regarded as alternative in one country or historical period may be regarded as conventional in another, making terminology dependent on cultural and healthcare context.
The report covers numerous alternative and complementary approaches, including acupressure, acupuncture, aromatherapy, Ayurvedic medicine, balneotherapy, biofeedback, chiropractic, homeopathy, naturopathy, reflexology, and Reiki. It also discusses Indian alternative therapies such as yoga, herbal therapies, mud therapy, oil massage therapy, and other approaches. In addition, the report classifies alternative medicine into categories such as alternative medical systems, mind-body techniques, biologically based therapies, energy therapies, and manipulative and body-based therapies.
Safety is important because alternative and naturopathic therapies can involve physical procedures, dietary interventions, herbal products, water treatments, and other techniques. The report specifically includes naturopathy treatment principles and safety as a subject. Proper patient assessment, trained practitioners, hygienic facilities, appropriate equipment, and consideration of existing medical conditions are important elements of responsible care. Complementary approaches should also be considered in the context of a person's overall healthcare rather than automatically replacing necessary conventional medical treatment.

The report explains accreditation concepts, benefits, application, preparation, assessment, certification, surveillance, and reassessment.
