Summary of CAM 2023:

Natural herbs have been the source of medicinal cures long before recorded history. Over time, people have narrowed down the plants with the desired medicinal properties. Scientists have found that over the same region and even all over the whole world people use similar species of plants for similar medicinal purposes.

The use of medicinal herbs for maintaining health also extends to other areas. Many human cultures across the world have also been utilizing natural ingredients for cosmetic and physical fitness maintenance regimens. The use of herbs for cosmetic certainly predates the use of chemicals. Many cultures around the world adopt their knowledge of medicinal herbs, combined with a mix of cultural beliefs and symbolism, into some of the earliest forms of beauty care.

Herbal medicine works mainly because they contain some chemical ingredients that interact favourably with the human body or immune systems to combat disease. It was only through the advancements of modern scientific method and the disciplines of chemistry and biology did people began to understand what make herbal remedies work. As modern sciences developed, scientists began to study the chemical compositions of traditional herbal medicines. This study, together with modern knowledge of human biology, led to the development of modern pharmaceuticals.

In today’s world of high tech Western medicine, natural medicines have begun a comeback in recent years. In beauty care, the use of herbs and natural, organic substances are also making a huge comeback.

Owing to the increasing backing by the masses, increased mode of traditional therapeutic methods has a capacity for extensive growth in the coming decade. It was predicted that more than 70% of the global population uses some or the other form of traditional medicine as of 2022. Alternative medicine comprises the application of traditional methods of medication such as the usage of herbs and other mind and body repairing techniques that are mostly based on faith and belief. However, most of these techniques have no regulatory approval or clinical evidential backing. Many of the governments and regulatory societies have put up efforts in finding clinical support for the incorporation of alternative therapies to help improve the market and treatment methods

Intervention Insights

Botanicals history for the largest share 73.9% of revenue generated in 2022 owing to the caset that a large base of population in developed countries use herbal/non-herbal dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals and other digestive supplements. Various technological advancements are being combined with the traditional medications like acupuncture and magnetic interventions.

Botanical that incorporates Ayurveda had Naturopathy, find compelling demand as dietary supplements and natural products for the treatment of skin diseases and chronic pain. Growth in medical tourism is expected to encourage the usage of complementary & alternative treatments over the forecast period.

Distribution Method Insights

The key component of alternative medicine lies in the delivery of treatment to the individual. Most of alternative & complementary therapies are delivered through direct contact, like in the cases of acupuncture, naturopathy, energy healing and others. This incorporates the application of particular naturopathic therapy on the individual.

Direct contact delivery accounted for the major contribution of market revenue and amounted to over 70% of value. However, this is likely to slightly diminish due to the integration of distant technologies and remote therapy delivering which eliminate the need for physical presence of the customer significantly increasing the reach of the individual therapy provider.

E-training is another significant method of treating patients with alternative medicine and works by different technological mediums like telephonic medication, video therapy and instructional documentation etc. Nowadays, various governments are offering distance courses to improve the exposure of the practitioners to the alternative medicine therapies in an attempt to promote alternative medical tourism.
