What is the major difference between conventional (mainstream) medicine and alternative medicine?
Alternative Medicine, also known as Traditional Medicine was used back in ancient times before what is known today as Conventional Medicine. The major difference between the two types of treatment is Conventional Medicine looks to treating the symptoms of the disease by means of scientific methods and modern technology. Alternative medicine looks to treat the root of the disease itself, by treating the person as a whole. Alternative medicine looks to strengthen the immune system to bring about a more complete and sustained healing. Alternative medicine as well, puts much more emphasis on preventing disease.
