Alternative medicine is treatments that are used rather than standard medical treatments. One example is employing a special diet to treat cancer rather than anticancer drugs that are prescribed by an oncologist. In general, the term “alternative therapy” refers to any health treatment not standard in Western practice . When used alongside standard medical practices, alternative approaches are mentioned as “complementary” medicine.Beyond that, complementary and alternative therapies are difficult to define, largely because the sector is so diverse. The benefits of alternative therapies are hotly contested. Most of the research is needed to determine the efficacy of nearly all of these practices, but that hasn’t stopped people from checking them out. CAM therapies include a good sort of botanicals and nutritional products, like dietary supplements, herbal supplements, and vitamins. Many of those "natural" products are considered to be safe because they're present in, or produced by, nature. However, that is not true in all cases. In addition, some may affect how well other medicines add your body. For example, the herb St. John's wort, which some people use for depression, may cause certain anticancer drugs to not work also as they ought to . Herbal supplements could also be harmful when taken by themselves, with other substances, or in large doses. For example, some studies have shown that kava kava, an herb that has been wont to help with stress and anxiety, may cause liver damage.
