To find the root to the relief of suffering, an alternative medicine movement has been going strong for years. It is being revisited that native cures and the tonics granny used to make have a better chance a relieving the systems that all of modern medicine put together could not muster. Medicine originated in this company from the Native Americans and the Europeans that mixed the ideas of natural medicine and botanical influences. Bio- medicine came to being in the 1800s when it was proposed that bacteria was the root of sickness because it produced toxins in the body and made the body respond negatively. Of course this was true with many illnesses and with research in this stem of medicine many illnesses and pains were relieved and lives were saved as an outcome.
This so called bio-medicine became the conventional way that doctors treated disease and people trusted as a healthy alternative from their natural remedies. After a few decades, this trust began to fade and people began to look for alternative medicines and treatments instead of going to the doctor and following his advice. This trend has been followed until today and alternative medicine is as popular as conventional medicine but at a cost and availability that everyone can afford. Alternative medicine is so popular that in 1992, Congress created the Office of Alternative medicine that was apart of the Office of the Director, National Institute of Health. Known as OAM, agency was charged with finding way to bridge the gap between conventional and alternative therapies
