What Is Allopathy?
The term allopathy is commonly used to describe conventional or modern medicine. In contemporary healthcare, this includes evidence-based medical practices such as prescription medicines, surgery, vaccination, diagnostic testing, and emergency care.
Modern medicine generally focuses on identifying the underlying disease or pathology and treating it using interventions supported by scientific research.
