AbstractThis study focused on the use of Traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) among Malaysian community and how it contributed to the maintaining of health and disease treatment. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 384 participants. Result showed that the majority of the participants reported using TCM as an additive to their conventional medicines. Even though, most participants understood of the possible interactions that might occur, when combining TCM with conventional medicines they remain dedicated to their practice. More study on TCM should be conducted to ensure the accurate and trusted scientific evidence provided especially in term of safety and efficacy.
