What is "alternative medicine"?
Alternative medicine refers to approaches to health and healing that differ from mainstream medical practices. These methods may include herbal remedies, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and meditation, among others. Many people turn to alternative medicine for conditions that conventional medicine may not fully address, searching for treatments that focus on overall wellness and natural healing processes. While alternative medicine is often used alongside conventional treatments, it is important for individuals to have discussions with healthcare professionals to ensure safe and effective care.
