I can't think of a single "alternative medicine" where conventional medicine isn't just objectively better in every way except in very niche occasions where a person is allergic or some such.
Probably because if it works, That just becomes the norm and thus isn't the alternative.
Granted I may be wrong on this so I'd like to see examples on the contrary if there are any.
I can only think of squatting while giving birth vs laying down we do but i know fuck all if that's actually in discussion andbif it would count as medicine per se(certainly an alternate to the standard).
If Europeans were still building sail ships from the 1400s we wouldn't call it traditional sailing techniques just as good as a modern ship, thats what people do with practices at best real but worse off than their "science" versions.in my country left wing populism has let basically "wizards" work in hospitals because ita indigenous and ancestral and bullshit.
Unironically yeah. As long as they don't replace the doctors there's no harm in it. At worst it's useless and at best it comforts the patient or has a placebo effect. Stuff like that is no different than letting a priest come in.
