How often do you fall sick, catch a cold, or come down with a fever? And how do you usually recover from it? Do you just wait it out, or head to a doctor or a pharmacy? Do you seek herbal remedies of Chinese medicine? Or is there an alternative unconventional approach that brings you back to peak health?

Let’s have a quick look at three common healing methods available in the world today, including an alternative approach practiced by over 100 million people.

1. Western Medicine

This is the method we are most familiar with, so no need to explain it in great detail.

These pills generally attack the disease or disease systems directly, and largely bypass the body’s own disease-fighting systems.
