As you can find alternative medicine by searching as Home Remedies on any search engine.

Why don't you ask clearly for what reason you are looking for alternative medicine on Mothering discussions.

Effectiveness will depend on the particular type of alternative medicine ie accupuncture, homeopathy, reiki, osteopathy, they are all different. There is more research on some than others. I just came across a really interesting part of the PBS website on alternative medicine.
