Do Not Rule Out Other Forms Of Medicine.

Medicine is defined as the science and practice of the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. Disease is defined as imbalance in the body. Ideally, medicine strives to keep the body in balance for optimal health by preventing imbalances through practices that aim to maintain and restore good health.

Medicine has been practiced in one form or the other since the existence of man. Conventional medicine is what is referred to as mainstream medicine now and it is science-based. Other forms of medicine which have been practiced for centuries by many cultures all over world are now referred to as Alternative Medicine. Another term being used now is Complimentary Alternative Medicine (CAM).

Science-based medicine has done so much and has a lot to offer especially when it comes to acute illnesses, trauma, emergencies, accurate diagnosis, etc., which other forms of medicine may not be able to offer partially or fully.

However when it comes to healing or managing chronic illnesses, alternative medicines may have more to offer. Some popular Alternatives are: 

Ayurveda.
Herbal Therapy, Herbalism.
African Traditional Medicine.
Acupuncture, Acupressure, Reflexology, etc.
Massage Therapy.
Chinese Traditional Medicine.

There are so many others that have worked and are working for many individuals. Each type of medicine has something to offer and they have given relief and healing to billions of people over the ages. If there is a health issue that mainstream medicine has not been able to resolve and you have been told there is not much that can be done again, then it is time for you to look for alternatives.

Alternative Medicine has value, so don’t close your mind to it or rule it out. At the same time, be careful with your choice by researching your options properly before starting whatever you decide to do.
