People worldwide who want to prevent themselves from diseases and illnesses, heal their pains, treat their diseases or illness and promote their health status are using CAM methods in an increasing trend and the popularity of CAM has risen rapidly in last years. In this study, it has been seen that 32% of the adults living in Ankara are using CAM methods. Herbal therapies/products, vitamin supplement, massage, and religious methods are the most popular methods used by respondents to relax and to heal the diseases for mentally and physically feeling better and experiencing less adverse effects. Strengthening the immune system and reducing the complaints related to health are the major expectations of the respondents. These CAM methods are used mostly under the conditions of cold, waist/back pain, intestinal diseases and insomnia. Factors such as gender, educational level, occupation and health service utilization affect the use of CAM. In Turkey, some diseases such as cold, headache are discounted and mostly a medical advice or consultation is not being seeked. In health care, even a small problem or a disease should be attention paid because a small problem may sometimes be an important matter of concern and cause bigger health problems.
