Holistic and alternative medicine is based on the principle that our consciousness and thoughts influence our body. In other words, the cerebrum-the seat of consciousness- is influenced by our emotional state, and stimulates heart-beat, breathing and blood pressure. Our mind has enormous power of self-healing.

Holistic and alternative medicine includes acupuncture, practice of Yoga and Zen, meditation, aroma therapy, dance therapy, music therapy, massage, naturopathy, and homeopathy.

The truth is that the holistic medicines increase the self-healing powers of the body. The bitter fact is that if you discuss the benefits of alternate therapaies with any doctor or drug dealer, he will become infuriated and ask you to leave the clinic. Extremely powerful and wealthy drugs companies never support holistic medicine and alternative therapies, as it will hit their profits. Alternative therapies are much better than the prescribed drugs.
Do You use alternative medicine?
 
No.I prefer to think of it as complementary rather than alternative,and as such i would use both if i believed that would give a better outcome.Actually there is a scientific evidence to support the use of complementary medicine alongside mainstream.And a lot of drugs have been developed from "folk medicine" which people used successfully for centuries without fully understanding how or why it works.
 
For some things, yes. Ive used homeopathic remedies, herbs and aromatherapy with some success. I couldnt tell you why homeopathy works, scientifically it shouldnt, but I use it for sinus and allergy issues and it works like a charm. My son uses aromatherapy for sensory problems and hyperactivity and its helped alot.

We've used herbs for alot of thing and found that some are just as effective as thier RX counterparts and can be less stressful on the kidneys and liver. Having said that, its important to research thoroughly because, some natural products like Uva Ursi can cause liver and kidney damage if taken too long or too frequently. Just because its natural doesnt mean it cant be harmful.
 
I don’t use it.
It’s only alternative because it hasn’t been proven to work, or it has been proven not to work.
Or side effects, risks, interactions and contradictions aren’t established.
Or its a scam – like detox footpads, ear candles, crystal healing energy or chakra balancing.
Or it’s downright dangerous like colloidal silver.
Or its complete and absolute BS quackery like homeopathy.
Or you have to invoke the supernatural to explain it.
Or promoters use pseudoscience, anecdotes or conspiracy theories to sell it.
Yes there are some concerns with ‘mainstream’ – but one must question everything and when it comes down to health care, I’m sticking with evidence based medicine and properly trained health care professionals.
 

I think it is always better to go in for alternative medicines except your traditional allopath which has so many side effects on vital organs. Its hopless to think a world free of allopath, but when the medicine is itself leading to many problems one needs to go in for others like Ayurveda, Unani and Homepathy which are most benificial in medical treatments which have become chronic.
 

Complementary and alternative medicine works to both prevent and treat disease in conjunction with traditional medicine.

Many, many pathologies can be prevented or treated with proper diet and lifestyle changes and there are many natural and herbal remedies that will treat disease better and with less side effects than "traditional medicine". However, there are times and conditions when the only thing one can do is to take pharmaceutical meds to treat certain pathologies.

The two schools of medicine work together and neither is able to completely do without the other.
 
before yes because my mother do believe in it although sometimes there's an effect specially the guava leave for the cleansing of wounds.
