Complementary and Alternative Therapies

A recent study found that the market for alternative medicine is currently valued at over $80 billion, and it is predicted to grow greatly in the coming years. Experts expect it to grow over 20% every year between 2021 and 2028. But why are non-traditional treatments growing in popularity? And how are they most commonly used? Let’s take a closer look.

Why Are People Turning To Alternative Treatments?

Let’s be honest, doctors can be pretty overwhelmed, and appointments tend to be short and to the point. Less time with your doctor or consultant means that there is limited opportunity to build a trusting relationship with them, leading to not feeling supported like we used to with medical professionals. While short appointments are fine for getting a prescription or identifying a small problem, more and more people are feeling less listened to and less supported. Alternative treatments have longer appointments where you feel supported and guided through your condition by empathetic professionals, and this is why they are becoming increasingly popular.

Additionally, many turn to unconventional methods because they are looking to take a more natural approach to treating conditions rather than just relying on strong medication. With a growth in popularity of vegan and natural foods and a focus on the environmental impact of businesses, including the medical field, more and more people are willing to try the more natural route. Natural therapies are less likely to have nasty side effects and can boost emotional and mental health too.

Finally, more people are turning to alternative therapies as there have been further scientific studies into their effectiveness. These studies have shown promising results, such as the therapies reducing inflammation levels within the body, treating a number of mental health conditions or improving the physical symptoms of many conditions. The best part is that as these treatments are more holistic, they are less likely to have negative side effects, meaning that there is no harm in trying them out.

How Do Most People Engage with Unconventional Treatments?

While some use unconventional healing as their primary treatment method, most use it in coordination with traditional medical treatments. It is becoming increasingly common for medical professionals to recommend some kind of complementary medicine alongside standard medication or treatments as a way to alleviate symptoms or improve mental health by reducing anxiety and stress levels linked to treatment. Before selecting any kind of unconventional healing method, consult your doctor to ensure it is safe for your particular condition.

The Take Away

We are beginning to see a rise in the number of people turning to unconventional healing methods, not generally as an alternative to traditional medicine but as supplement to it. This allows both healing methods to work together to help treat a variety of health conditions. Additionally, non-traditional methods can also have a positive impact on mental health, which is vital in helping patients deal with their health issues. If you are looking to find a holistic healing practitioner today, we can help – so why not get started.
