摘要：
The use of complementary and alternative medicine has earned great popularity in Saudi Arabia. However, its use in the adult population of the Asir region of Saudi Arabia remains to be examined. The present study aimed to explore adults' use, attitudes, and awareness of complementary and alternative medicine in this region of Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional online survey using a structured questionnaire was conducted on a convenience sample of adult residents in the Asir region. The results showed that the most commonly used type of complementary and alternative medicine included natural products such as honey and olive oil followed by herbs and religious/spiritual healing. Residents of this region showed a high level of awareness regarding complementary and alternative medicine in general, but awareness could be raised, particularly among those using complementary and alternative medicine for progressive medical conditions.
