    Abstract:
    This article is a description of how I have integrated Complementary Medicine into the practice of dermatology over the past 2 decades. It emphasizes observing the principles of the system being used, such as the herbal concept of the synergy of the entire plant extract. Examples discussed include the use of flavonoids to protect the liver and capillaries. Herbs and techniques for reducing the inflammatory response, as well as for enhancing immunity, are given. The concept of homeopathy and a few remedies to use in office practice are discussed. Finally, a few methods to complement the treatment of melanoma are presented.
