Herbs can actually cure or at least a complementary medicine for various diseases including degenerative disease. Herbs have a single form (only from one type of plant) and potion (mixture of several kinds of plants). Single herbs have many shortcomings, especially for the treatment of degenerative diseases that are complex, such as diabetes mellitus. This disease can cause complications to the heart, kidneys, hypertension, cholesterol, and cancer. Therefore to be effective, an alternative treatment will mix several types of medicinal plants to overcome a certain disease.

Besides herbs, other degenerative alternative treatments are Acupuncture, Reflexology Massage, Acupressure, Tendo Neuro Stimulation Method (NTS), Prana Method, Electricity Massage, Iridology Diagnosis Method, and others.
