When the patient wants to try another system of medicine

G D Ravindran
Abstract:
Complementary or alternate systems of medicine are being practiced all over the world. In our country, we have a long tradition of alternate systems of medicine, such as ayurveda, unani, homeopathy, etc., which are recognised by law and the government. In addition, we also have newer, novel therapies such as ozone therapy and magnetic therapy. Our patients tend to try these systems when they have chronic illnesses or when they do not get relief from the allopathic system.
