Alternative Medicine

Medical items and practices that are not part of mainstream care are referred to as alternative medicine. Alternative medicine is utilized in place of conventional or mainstream medical treatment.

Complementary medicine is not the same thing as alternative medicine, and vice versa. Complementary medicine is used in addition to standard medical treatments, whereas alternative medicine is used instead of standard medical practises. In general, the medical community does not recognise alternative medical practises as standard or conventional medical approaches. Massage therapy, special teas, mind therapies, dietary supplements, mega dose vitamins, herbal preparations, magnet therapy, and spiritual healing are a few examples of alternative medical practises.
