| Alternative medicine on Wikipedia |
| Alternative medicine is a term covering practices which differ from current medical methods (such as homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, and herbal medicine). It has been defined as "every available approach to healing that does not fall within the realm of conventional medicine".[1]
Alternative medicine practices may be based on non-traditional belief systems or philosophies, and some may not follow the scientific method. They may incorporate spiritual, metaphysical, or religious underpinnings, untested practices, pre-modern medical traditions, or newly developed approaches to healing. If an initially untested alternative medical approach is subsequently shown to be safe and effective, it may then be adopted by conventional practitioners and no longer considered "alternative".
