Alternative therapies are non-traditional medical treatments that are used to promote healing, improve well-being, or alleviate symptoms. They can be used in place of or alongside conventional medicine.
Some examples of alternative therapies include:
Herbal remedies: Plant-based substances that are used to treat or prevent health problems
Acupuncture: Involves inserting fine needles into the body to stimulate muscles and nerves
Aromatherapy: Uses essential oils to heal
Meditation: May help reduce blood pressure, anxiety, depression, and irritable bowel syndrome
Yoga: May help relieve stress, improve mental health, and reduce low-back and neck pain
Tai chi: May help improve balance and stability, reduce back pain, and improve quality of life
Magnetic field therapy: Uses magnetic or electrical fields to treat musculoskeletal problems
Reiki: A practitioner places their hands lightly on your skin or hovers them over your body to channel energy through their hands to promote healing
Some alternative therapies may be unsafe, cause harmful side effects, or interact with conventional treatments. Research into alternative therapies often doesn't follow proper protocols, which can lead to invalid results.
