Alternative medicine – Tempo

According to teen.ink.com, alternative medicine has been around since ancient times. It is as old as the hills, so to speak.

In ancient times, alternative medicine was used by both animals and humans. Critics, however, maintain a quizzical attitude towards it, saying it is unproven, unscientific.

Website ukessay.com says alternative medicine has no side effects, its price is not expensive compared to mainstream medicine. Which makes it affordable to ordinary people.

Generally used natural substances without any hazardous and chemicals or carbon polluting energy ingredients.

Substances or ingredients are readily available where people can even grow some of the medicine on their own, which means they can keep control of the whole process.

The approach of alternative medicine to whole body healing and treatment of the underlying causes of diseases and conditions looks at the entire person as opposed to just symptoms. This approach can improve an individuals overall health and quality of life.

People stick to this for its advantages and believe that it is more effective.

From Wikepedia.com, the kinds of alternative treatment:

Massage Therapy relieves temporary pain and increases circulation.

Chiropractic relieves back, joint pain and mitigates some chronic headaches.

Neti pot can help relieve symptoms of allergies, sinus infections and colds.

Nothings wrong to try this as long as we all know the precautionary or the limitation measures of using this.
