Know about Alternative Medicine
Alternative medicine is any form of medical practice a patient embraces other than mainstream medicine. My personal view as a practitioner of mainstream medicine is “a patient should seek help from alternative medicine only when there is no acceptable treatment or management in mainstream medicine, to alleviate medical problemâ€. Help of alternative medicine should be taken for chronic long standing diseases when no solution can be provided by mainstream medicine. In late stage of cancer alternative medicine can at least give some psychological support to the patient and family members. If cause of backache can not be defined than ayurveda and yoga can give better management result than modern western medicine. But one should be always be careful about the side effects of alternative medicines, because many practitioners of alternative medicine claim their system to be free from adverse effects. But in reality there are no systems of medicine which have no adverse effects. The rule is simple; everything has some good and some bad things.
