Traditional or Western Medicine includes a system in which doctors manage and treat illness using ‘evidence based’ practices such as medications, surgical operation, diverse forms of treatment and radiation, and lifestyle changes. Western Medicine is founded in identifying infectious vehicles and delivering effective managements to combat against infectious illnesses.
Western Medicine, over the past 75 years, has made substantial advances in healthcare resulting in about 20% reduction in the death rate due to cancers, a 75% reduction in the death rate from HIV/AIDS, and a 60% reduction in the death rate from heart illnesses. Western Medicine, with the use of
advanced laboratory procedures and radiological imaging techniques such as X-Rays, are ideal for emergency situations that necessitate immediate care. The use of modern medications can rapidly relieve most negative indications which can allow people to return to their daily lives with negligible interruptions. However, Modern Medication can occasionally only handle the symptoms without tackling the root cause of the problem. Also, the long-term effects of some of the medicines can cause adverse side effects to the body.

Instead of relying on pharmaceutical medicines and surgeries, Eastern Medicine relies on natural resources, such as herbs, teas, and oils drawn from the extracts of spices, fruits, and vegetables.
The key advantage of Eastern Medicine is that it can be extremely effective for some individuals. Medicines based on herbs and essential oils have been acknowledged to mitigate skin problems, body aches, heart problems, and help in weight reduction. Unfortunately, little is known about Eastern Medicine when it comes to its safety and effectiveness. Also, Alternative Medicine approaches are not effective in emergency situations such as accidents.
