Western medicine focuses on taking medication, treat the symptoms and the disease and nearly everything has a prescription to try to cure it.

However, prescription medications often have side effects that can be worse than the symptoms that they are supposed to be curing.

More and more people are moving away from Western medicine and turning towards alternative medicines that take a whole body and holistic approach to healing, such as Reiki.
