Alternative medicines - do you use them?

Are you a user of alternative medicines? Many people swear by things like cannabis oil or herbs to cure some conditions or at least alleviate the symptoms.
Modern medicine doesn't have all the answers and, whether you believe in their effectiveness or not, if using some alternative medicine makes you better or makes you feel better then why not?
The only difficulty I see is if a condition required surgery. Where's the alternative to that?

@ThreeTeddies I take medicine and I can't mix it with alternative medicine.

Sometimes I use it, but sometimes we need immediate effect to relieve body aches.

That's a good point. Homeopathic remedies rarely work quickly but aspirin works within 20 minutes

Depending on the problem, yes (and it's very good).

@ThreeTeddies Well, it's true. But in some cases, it's pretty effective.

@WiseGhots Maybe the best idea is a combination of conventional medicine and alternative medicine
