Why is it important?
Although new pharmacologic agents are available to date, these drugs have limited efficacy in managing FD . The effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapy has been frequently reported in the improvement of symptoms and the quality of life of patients with FD.
Perspectives
Herbal medicine is the most common part of CAM, that is used for management of FGID such as FD with modulating of the gastrointestinal dystemperaments. Thus, WHO emphasizes integrating CAM into conventional medicine and health delivery services. Integrative medicine aims to combine CAM into conventional medicine to achieve comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approaches.
