    Alt Medicine courses encompass a wide range of healthcare practices that are not typically part of conventional medical training but are recognised for their holistic approach to health and wellness.

    Alt Medicine courses provide in-depth knowledge and practical skills to diagnose and treat patients using natural, less invasive methods, offering a complementary approach to conventional medical practices and addressing the growing demand for holistic healthcare solutions.

    Hi,
    Alternative Medicine means any form of medicine that is outside the mainstream of western medicine or conventional medicine. It practices are generally not recognized by the medical community as standard or conventional medical approaches. Alternative medicine includes dietary supplements, herbal preparations, special teas, massage therapy, magnet therapy, and spiritual healing.
    For scope of alternate medicine, I invite Dr MohsinKhan to share his views.
    Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.
    Wish You Luck!
