 Some forms of alternative medicine, such as acupuncture, have been found to be effective in controlled clinical trials. However, most forms of alternative medicine have not been adequately studied to determine if they are effective.

That said, there is no harm in trying some form of alternative medicine if you think it might help you. Just be sure to talk to your doctor before trying any new treatment, especially if you are taking medication or supplements. Some forms of alternative medicine can interact with medications or supplements in dangerous ways.
