Alternative Medicine vs Conventional MedicineWhat is the difference between alternative medicine vs conventional medicine? A lot! For one thing, alternative medicine is natural and safe to use. Conventional medicine is not natural, is not safe, and definitely is not good for the body. Alternative medicine uses the whole herb or the pure extract of the herb. Conventional medicine uses a small percentage of the herb with other harmful and toxic agents mixed in. This is why people have side effects when using many pharmaceuticals today. They aren’t natural! They are synthetic and created in a lab. Ultimately, it is a foreign substance that you are putting into your body. It is no wonder why the body reacts the way it does to these substances.
