        abstract = {Folks are getting more into alternative medicine--stuff like acupuncture, herbs, and natural treatments--mainly because it looks at health in a more complete way. But, it's hard to mix this with science because things aren't always done the same way, and it's tough to know if they really work or if they can be made just for you. AI could really shake things up in alternative medicine. It can help look at info, make patients better, and create plans that fit each person. This article checks out how AI is being used now in alternative medicine, like helping to figure out what's wrong, suggesting treatments, and hunting for new cures. It also talks about what AI could do in the future to bring old-school practices together with what doctors do now. Lastly, it points
AI is making its way into healthcare, even in areas like alternative medicine. It could make diagnoses better, treatments more successful, and healthcare more personal. This article looks at how AI is being used now and how it might be used later in fields like herbal medicine, acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), homeopathy, and other similar therapies. We'll see how AI—things like machine learning, language processing, and predicting what will happen—is helping to make these practices easier, giving useful info, and helping doctors give better, more specific care. We'll also talk about problems like bad data, rules and regulations, and whether AI is right or wrong to use in this way. Finally, we'll look at what could happen in the future, like AI mixing alternative and normal medicine, and what that might mean for patients.},
