Abstract

Alternative medicine has recently gained popularity due to the growing gap between patients and health care professionals, the burden of the word, the numerous side effects of current treatment, the loss of complete relief for chronic illnesses, the high cost of new medications, and the rise in new diseases. As a result, people are becoming more dependent on the type of treatment that works for them. Alternative medicine is defined as a variety of therapeutic or preventative health care modalities, such as homoeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, and natural medicine, which no longer adhere to customarily accepted clinical protocols and may not have a clear-cut scientific basis for their efficacy. The term "complementary and alternative therapy" refers to medical procedures and methods that aren't a part of standard medical care. Clinical medical physicians, medical doctors of osteopathy, allied fitness professionals, registered nurses, and physical therapists all practise standard care. Alternative treatments are treatments you use in place of common ones. Complementary medicine refers to unconventional treatments you combine with well-known ones.

Keywords: Alternative remedy, Ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy.
