The Journal of Alternative Medicine and Mind Body Practices publishes peer-reviewed research on complementary therapies, integrative medicine, traditional healing systems, and the mechanisms underlying mind-body interventions. We welcome clinical trials, systematic reviews, mechanistic studies, qualitative research, and case series.

Our editorial board includes researchers and practitioners from diverse traditions committed to bridging ancient healing wisdom with modern scientific methodology. Unlike traditional journals that may lack reviewers who understand integrative approaches, our reviewer pool has deep expertise in complementary and integrative health methodologies. Whether you research the neurophysiological mechanisms of meditation, evaluate clinical outcomes of acupuncture for chronic pain management, explore the efficacy of herbal interventions, or document patient experiences with integrative cancer care, you will find expert reviewers who understand and respect your methodology.

We maintain rigorous ethical standards including institutional ethics approvals, informed consent documentation, transparent disclosure of practitioner qualifications, and complete data availability statements. We encourage adherence to CONSORT for randomized controlled trials, PRISMA for systematic reviews and meta-analyses, STRICTA for acupuncture intervention studies, and CARE for clinical case reports. We welcome research using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, recognizing that mixed-methods approaches often provide the richest understanding of complex mind-body interventions. Membership never influences editorial decisions; all manuscripts undergo identical expert peer review.
