Alternative medicine

Alternative medicine practices are used instead of standard medical treatments. Alternative medicine is distinct from complementary medicine, which is meant to accompany, not to replace, standard medical practices. Alternative medical practices are generally not recognized by the medical community as standard or conventional medical approaches. It includes dietary supplements, megadose vitamins, herbal preparations, special teas, massage therapy, magnet therapy, and spiritual healing. Much of the perceived effect of an alternative practice arises from a belief that it will be effective, or from the treated condition resolving on its own. This is further exacerbated by the tendency to turn to alternative therapies upon the failure of medicine, at which point the condition will be at its worst and most likely to spontaneously improve
