Nonconventional Medicine

Every where in the world, there are people who have never studied in a medical school but they have had experiences healing people by using natural medicine. In this essay I will define what nonconventional medicine is and my opinion of it.

Nonconventional medicine is one of the most common treatments in many countries of the world, and many people prefer to use this kind of therapy. First, nonconventional medicine is synonym with alternative medicine and there is no specific definition for this term because each country has different definition depending on the medical traditions of the country in which it is used. Therefore, I can define this term as a physical therapy system depending greatly on herbal medicine for treating diseases through fasting, a macrobiotic diet, acupuncture…etc.

Nowadays, some medical schools have begun teaching this kind of medicine in their curriculum. For that reason, many people don’t prefer conventional medicine because physicians in this school often give patients medicines which contain a lot of chemical substances. In addition, the immunity system will not be strong when the body has been accustomed to chemicals. Also, the nonconventional medicine is safe with effective results and is not costly. For example, when you have a cough and sore throat you don’t have to go to the clinic but just drink fresh orange or lemon juice with honey and you will feel better after a few days.

In short, if you often use nonconventional medicine it may protect your body against diseases and strengthen your immunity.
