2. Traditional and Alternative Medicine:

Alternative Medicine or Psudomedicine are the practices or beliefs to cure any certain illness but its working principle cannot be explained or is impossible to prove with logical explanation. In some cases the risks of alternative medicine outweigh their benefits. Sometimes they are also ineffective to cure the illness and have toxic effect on your body. Some of the alternative treatments include acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, balneotherapy, biofeedback, chiropractic, reflexology, reiki. Acupressure is like acupuncture but it involves hands instead of needles. It puts pressure at “energy point” which when blocked can create certain illness. Acupuncture has been quite famous with the western culture. It can be used to treat pain and depression. Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils such as those extracted from roots, leaves, seeds etc. This can be used to massage an effected part or can be taken orally to promote relaxation. Balneotherapy is the use of water to providing relief. The water can be used to soothe skin from acne and swelling and also relief the body from anxiety. Biofeedback allows people to control bodily processes that happen involuntarily. This includes heart rate, muscle tension, skin temperature, blood pressure, etc. Chiropractic is mainly focuses on musculoskeletal and nervous system. They mainly focus on “hypomobile” joints to restore them to their normal functioning. The most common procedure performed by them is “spinal manipulation”.

3. Ayurveda Medicine:

Ayurveda itself can treat many issues in the body such as stress, anxiety, blood pressure and cholesterol, recovery from injuries, promotes anti-oxidant rich diet, maintains weight, lowers inflammation and keeps the hormonal level in balance. It is a 5000 year system of treating ailments which has its roots of development in India. The recent popularization of alternative and complementary medicine in the west has proved to have a positive effect at the growth of Ayurveda medicine. The word Ayurveda in Sanskrit means “lifespan build on knowledge.” Ayurveda works by maintaining a balance by having a healthy diet and lifestyle changes. Unlike western medicine, Ayurveda medicine takes a person’s bioindivitualilty into account along with entire body-mind-spirit connection. Thus rather than treating the symptoms of the disease, Ayurveda relies on the power of the mind over the body to treat the disease from its core.

11. Arabic and Unani Medicine:

Islamic medicine translated many medical texts from Greek, Syriac, and Sanskrit to Arabic. Unlike the Christians who viewed disease as a punishment of God, the Islam looked at it just like any other problem of mankind to be solved. Though westerners credit William Harvey for discovering the blood circulation, the Islam’s discovered it 300 years before its discovery though the information was incomplete. They also discovered that some diseases like smallpox and tuberculosis were infectious and the quarantine process to limit its spread. An Arabic doctor named Al Zahrawi wrote a 30- volume book of medicine and surgery and invented almost 200 surgical instruments which are even used today. The Islamic physicians only used such herbs which showed to have a positive effect on the body. Arab government ordered its pharmacy to ensure the purity and overall quality of the product sold. These pharmacies started to spread through the Muslim world and beyond. It is a form of Traditional Medicine practiced in Mughal India and in Muslim culture in South Asia.  It is also influenced by Chinese Traditional Medicine. The diagnosis by this kind of medicine requires a thorough knowledge about the signs, symptoms and temperament. The balance of the natural functioning in the body is maintained by Quwwat-e-Mudabbira-e-Badan. Any derangement in this leads to imbalance of humours or akhlat of the body. This change in humour in an abnormal way leads to pathological or physical problems in the body. Depending upon these three principles of imbalance and balance the treatment is suggested. Arabic Medicine is also known as Islamic Medicine.

12. Chinese Medicine:

Chinese Medicine evolved in ancient China over a thousand years ago. It includes many methods of treatment like Tai chi, acupuncture etc. Unlike normal drugs which have to prove their efficacy to the FDA, these are used as food supplements and don’t have to prove what they claim. Chinese Medicine sees the whole body as a miniature version of the universe. It believes that there is a balance between complementary forces named Yin and Yang. Imbalance in these forces leads to occurrence of diseases. Qi is a vital energy which flows through the whole body and provides energy for proper functioning. Chinese herbal medicine consists of several medicinal substances, especially plants, minerals and some animal products. Acupuncture is the stimulation of certain points in the body which are considered to be vital for the flow of life energy. This helps to restore these vital points and cure a disease. Tai-chi involves gentle dance like movements coupled by breathing, relaxation and mental focus.

14. Drugs from natural sources:

 Drugs from natural sources are usually crude drugs which are derived from biological or mineral sources. Such drugs do not require additional processing as they already contain pharmacologically active ingredients. The drugs include ginseng, dry root of rhubarb, dried milk juice of opium and whole dried insect like Spanish fly. Drugs obtained from animal sources are usually whole animals or parts of the animal like thyroid organ, liver, non-peptide toxins, etc. Other sources include that of microbes which provides many lifesaving drugs such as penicillin. Plants have been a source of many novel drugs. Nature has always been a major source of new structural leads and providing new structural leads. Many important drugs such as antibiotics like penicillin have been developed from microbes. The genetic knowledge leads to novel screens and genetic techniques which also allows genome mining. Due to new genetic tools which has permitted isolation and expression of earlier unidentifiable genes has led to discovery of new products.

15. Pharmacognosy and Traditional Medicine:

Almost 80% of the world population rely on traditional medicine for treatment. In traditional medicine the active ingredients are isolated from plant extracts. Sometimes it is used to mimic a natural plant compound. Thus the natural molecules act as good models for mimicking the drug molecules. Taxol is a good example of anticancer drug which is obtained from baccatin III. It is isolated from taxusbaccata. Pharmacognosy deals with the effectiveness of particular medicinal products such as in traditional medicine like homeopathy medicine and acupuncture etc. It is the study of chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs or potential drug subjects. It is also known as the study of crude drugs.  The term Pharmacognosy was first coined by Seydler, a German botanist.  Medicine has been derived from plants since eternity by mankind to cure diseases. It has always been a go-to for finding new drugs.

16. Toxicology Studies of plant products:

 Medicinal plants are mostly sold as dietary supplements rather than medicines. Due to this reason they have less stringent rules by the FDA than actual drugs in the western world. Toxicology studies are important to denote the efficacy of the doses of the medicine and what number doses are safe until it becomes toxic. It is the study of chemical interaction with the living system and how it affects its normal processes. Toxicologists know that nothing is risk free after a certain point. Their studies help us save from overdose. The best and common example is oxygen. When it is used in limited condition, they are safe to use but its overdose is toxic. Toxicology helps us find out the evidence as to what their mode of action is. The meticulous toxicology studies provide a guideline about the safe use of the plant product. Thus toxicology needs to list the proper side effects of a medicinal plant before they can be marketed.
