About Alternative Healing

---

Alternative or complementary medicine is a term that has been used in the western medical field to describe anything that is not western orthodoxy. Although these medicines have been used for centuries because it has yet to be researched using the scientific method, the western medical field did not view it as effective. Alternative medicines have been practiced in various cultures for centuries, yet only until recently has it been taken seriously by Western medicine. 

The distinguishing factor between western medicine and alternative medicine is how the body is perceived. The western perspective sees the body as a series of parts that are measured and quantified to distinguish a diagnosis. In eastern medicine, the mind, body, and spirit are connected; therefore, the eastern medicine practitioner treats the whole person, not just the body.
