This is a question to Jehovah Witnesses and other religions aswell
What do you think of alternative medicine such as chinese herbal medicine, natropathy, reiki, crystal healing, flower essences healing. Do you think these are against God and if they were then why are all these stuff in nature, the nature that God created for our use?
I know some religions say they are against it like crystals cos it’s pagan, but how is it pagan when they are from the earth?

As an Atheist I don’t think there is ‘alternative’ medicine just medicine that works and medicine that doesn’t.
And you determine which it is via testing.
alternative methods must be investigated 1st. some are rooted in spiritism and the occult. some are not. we must stay clear of all things that goes against God’s word. if not it is entirely up to the conscience of affected party
I already have a headache trying to figure that out!
J.W.,s do not digest any poisons That means anything with stricknine, arsinic or other poisons in asprine and they drink no water that poisons have been used to make the water safe. J.W.,s have also found a way for open heart surgery without blood transfusions.
No, the alternative medicines are not against God, they are environmentally friendly.
I am Indonesian, Christian, and close to herbal medicines of daily use.
Some feel more comfortable with alternative health therapies. This too is a personal decision. Still, when handling health problems, Christians do not cease to let ‘God’s word be a lamp to their foot and a light to their roadway.’ (Psalm 119:105) They continue to follow the guidelines set out in the Bible. (Isaiah 55:8, 9) Thus, they shun diagnostic techniques that smack of spiritism, and they avoid treatments that violate Bible principles.—Psalm 36:9; Acts 15:28, 29; Revelation 21:8.
I believe in natural herbal remedies because the Bible mentions it in Genesis. However, I see nothing about reiki and crystal healing in the Bible. Those things have gone over into the occult. If you don’t believe it, do some research on Reiki….check out “The New Age Cult”.
Some alternative medicine are just traditional herbal remedies and there is no religious objection to that as far as Jehovah’s Witnesses are concerned. BUT we do stay completely free from any treatment linked to spiritism or the occult which would rule out some of the remedies you listed.
