In this opportunity I want to show you some examples about the benefits of the alternative medicine based on my personal experience and in the others experiences.

Well, in my case when I have cough, my mom gave me the tomato juice with salt, lemon and garlic, this is a very sour potion but it is effective for the cough and for the hoarseness.

In the second time I want to talk about the headache, for this ache is very effective the malva's sheet, the malva's sheet is boiled in water and then you have to drink it. These are some of the benefits of the alternative medicine, because there are many benefits and many medicinal plants. But is important to know how apply the alternative medicine because it can cause others complicatios.

In the aspect of complementary medicine, I can say that this kind of medicine is very used to improve, accelerate or complement the effects of science-based medicine with relaxing processes.

The first example is taked from my aunt, because she had thyroid cancer and when she was operated she was very sore and very afflicted. She researched about how to improve this situation and she found the perfect form to relax and complement her therapy, this was a kind of yoga but more simple and easy. These exercices were very effectives because she began to look like more recuperated.

In summary, I am in the capacity of saying that the alternative medicine is equally effective that modern medicine, because some of these can cure sicknesses and the others medicines can prevent some illness. But is true say that the complementary medicine is important to complement the effects of the modern medicine and in some cases it can accelerate the cure process, nevertheless, it dependent of the attitude of each one.
