From ArticleWorld


Alternative medicine is defined as a diverse group of medical practices, techniques, ideologies and products that are used in the treatment of patient illnesses but which are out of the scope of mainstream medicine. Some alternative medical therapies include aromatherapy, body cleansing techniques and megavitamin therapy. Practices such as chiropractic care are included as alternative, although aspects of this type of medical therapy have begun to achieve mainstream medical status.

Approximately half of all Westerners have used some form of alternative medical therapy in spite of concerns by providers of conventional medicine that many alternative medical practices are ineffective.
