DoctorNDTV.com conducted a survey to find out which was the most preferred and trusted system of medicine amongst people. The survey revealed that there was a positive inclination towards the use of alternative medicines. About 88% of the participants felt that alternative medicines were better than the modern medicine systems since they had fewer side effects and were less costly (69%).

 About 600 people took the survey and a little more than half felt that the alternative systems of medicine were more time tested and effective. The survey also revealed that whether or not the practitioners were honest was not influenced by the system of medicine they followed.
