What is traditional and complementary medicine?

Traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) combines time-tested healing practices — such as acupuncture, hirudotherapy, and herbal medicine — with modern clinical knowledge. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, T&CM investigates root causes: food intolerances, environmental toxin burden, gut microbiome imbalance, and hormonal disruption. Dr. Çelik integrates these approaches with conventional medical training to create individualised treatment plans.
