Australia\u2019s Traditional, Complementary and Integrative Medicine (TCIM) systems encompass Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healing traditions, as well as widespread use of complementary therapies such as naturopathy, acupuncture and herbalism. Indigenous health systems emphasize connection to Country, spiritual well-being, bush medicine and healing through ceremony and kinship.<\/span><\/p>\n
