Alternative medicine is any medicine that is not based upon the western scientific inquiry and validation; it includes practices such as homeopathy, accupuncture, prayer or faith healing, herbal tinctures and supplements and charms or other trinkets. At this time, the scientific basis of alternative medicine is questionable, although there are numerous rigorous scientific studies underway evaluating alternative medicine therapies ranging from herbal supplements to accupuncture - some of these therapies may eventually be found effective for certain conditions.
