Allopathic medicine, often referred to as conventional or Western medicine, is a system of healthcare that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases primarily through the use of medications, surgery, and other interventions. This approach is based on scientific research and evidence, aiming to alleviate symptoms and cure illnesses by targeting their underlying causes. Practitioners of allopathic medicine, such as medical doctors and surgeons, typically undergo extensive training and education. They utilize various diagnostic tools, including laboratory tests and imaging techniques, to assess a patient's condition and determine the most effective treatment plan.
