Abstract

This chapter focuses on past and current integrative practices in Turkey. Native practices have been embedded within Turkish culture for centuries as a part of the country’s heritage and history. Recently, the Ministry of Health approved a list of complementary therapies and standards to regulate practices in integrative medicine. In addition, the nursing discipline has come a long way in terms of research on integrative practices, from descriptive studies to randomized control group studies and projects at the doctorate level. However, in spite of research activities and the emergence of new courses in nursing curricula, the progress in implementing integrative therapies to clinical practice in Turkey has been very slow.
