What types of "alternative medicine" have you tried and found very effective?

[Orangeaporange]

I usually have no luck with herbal remedies, aroma therapy oils, chinese medicines etc. perhaps because they are so complicated to use and I mess things up or am not using them properly. Have any of these things really worked with anyone and what was particularly effective?

I do not know what is meant by alternate medicines. I have tried medicines in Ayurveda which are there from very ancient times before any other modern medicine system ever existed, and found them fully curative alongwith naturopathy. I have tried system presently known as homeopathy which again were known to ancients. I have used acupressure and acupuncture which were again found curative. I do not know what herbal medicines are. Ayurvedic medicines deal with almost all known herbs.
