Alternative medicine is becoming more and more popular among young people in the USA. This is according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This recently released study reveals that alternative medicine or herbal supplements were used by nearly twelve per cent of children and teenagers. The researchers report that young people under seventeen are using a variety of remedies that include natural medicines such as meditation, acupuncture and other treatments “that are not generally considered to be part of conventional medicine”. This is the first time for the center to measure alternative medicine use in children and teenagers. The study states that alternative cures have been used by one in three adults.

Moreover, the study says that children most commonly used alternative medicine in order to fight back or neck pain, head or chest colds, anxiety or stress, muscular problems, hyperactivity, and attention deficit disorders. The most popular medicines among children were “non-vitamin, non-mineral, natural products” such as fish oil. The most common treatments were massages, meditation, acupuncture, and yoga. Researchers also found that children were five times more likely to use these remedies if a parent or other relative does. An alternative medicine expert, Richard Nahin, was surprised at the report’s findings. He said that children were very healthy and the fact that one in nine youngsters used alternative medicine was “pretty amazing”.
