Alternative medicine tends to disagree with conventional medicine about the treatment plans for cancer
The American Cancer Society has a list of types of cancer alternative medicine that can be used alongside standard treatment to reduce pain and improve mental health.

There are all kinds of cancers, and each of those has a number of degrees/stages/phases. Your wife should rely on her doctors for direction with regard to her care. Cancer treatments in the United States today are top-notch with incredibly high survival rates for many types of cancer. There is no one "cancer alternative medicine solution" that offers a magical cure for all cancers, unfortunately. Check in your community for homeopathic healers. You can find information at health food stores. But couple alternative therapies with conventional therapies. If there were "alternative medicine solutions" to cure cancer patients, everyone would flock to those healers, certainly.
Treatments for cancer are one of the areas where allopathic medicine disapproves most strongly of alternative medicine, and consequently these natural treatments are the subject of much adverse publicity.

Conventional, alternative or complementary is as per see. A person who prefers, let's say homeopathic medicine, as a first line of treatment, conventional medicine is an complementary/alternative for him/her. Likewise a person who took conventional medicine as first line of treatment, other forms of treatment are complementary/alternative.
Here is how you can use alternative medicine in a sentence, "Most herbalists will claim to have alternative medicine." Alternative medicine refers to another option in terms of medication.
Yes, it is a form of alternative medicine. "Wide use" does not make something not an alternative medicine. To not be an alternative medicine, it has to go through rigourous testing against placebos. Ayurvedic hasn't done this. It, therefore, is scientifically unproven and an alternative medicine.
