Alternative Medicine: An Analysis of Risks and Benefits This three-page undergraduate paper examines alternative medicine issues and analyzes the benefits and risks of alternative medical treatment. The author notes that the use of alternative medicine in the form of acupuncture, European herbals, homeopathy, naturopathy, and Ayurvedic medicine has increased in recent years, due to dissatisfaction with the effectiveness of traditional medical treatment and limited access to and high costs of traditional medical care. But there are risks as well, and the paper concludes that much more research is needed before alternative medicine can be considered safe and effective.
