This

can be a reason for a number of people to shift to

alternative

medicines.

Alternative

medicines can cost less than mainstream

medicine

but it takes a lot of time to take effect and requires the

to follow a healthy routine and develop healthy habits. These methods use natural methods for the treatment of a disease which does not put much strain on the

patient

alternative

medicine
