Threat of drug resistance and superbugs is not new, but the stride with which it is increasing is worrisome. Non-conventional traditional therapies which have been in use since ancient times signify the remedial curative practices. In the modern era of medicine and “omics” biology, the traditional medicine has again emerged supplementary therapies to control various diseases. These therapies are still used either alone or along with standard remedies. The therapies practiced with traditional medicine are named as “complementary,” and those used alone are considered as “alternative.” These therapies are classified into different categories based on nutritional, physiological, and physical approaches.
