Traditional medicine concentrates on the symptom or condition. It relies heavily on prescription drugs, scientific studies, laboratory tests, surgeries, pharmacology, and high-tech devices. The core of traditional medicine is based on scientific research and development, on clinical trials, and on chemistry and biology.
         Alternative medicine is related to any healing practices that are not taught in medical schools, not used in hospitals, and not frequently used by physicians. Alternative medicine is usually distinguished by its holistic methods and based on long-standing successful practices. The practitioner treats the person as a whole and not just the symptom or condition.
