Alternative Medicine includes any of the various systems of healing or treating disease (such as acupuncture, homeopathy, or herbal medicine) not included in the traditional medical curricula taught in the U.S.
More and more patients are finding that alternative medicine has a great deal to offer, especially for treating chronic conditions with which Western Medicine has little success.
