In the views of at least some commentators, the rise of alternative medicine is a quest for more compassionate, personalized, and comprehensive health care. The trend is almost certainly also fuelled by a growing faith in so-called natural products as intrinsically good and safe, which is not at all a valid assumption. This faith is easy to exploit commercially.
It is less easy to exploit when traditional medicine is in the hands of properly trained, experienced, and licensed practitioners performing an ancient, culturally respected, and useful art of compassionate care and healing.
The striking increase, in affluent societies, in the popularity of treatments and remedies that complement or serve as an alternative to conventional treatments.
