I know a lot of Christians who are very into holistic medicine. Some of them avoid standard medical medicine like the plague.

Christians television networks and Christian health programs also heavily promote holistic / homeopathic medicine.


Answers:

Christians believe that God the creator created your body to heal itself. Think of it -when you cut or bruise your self you don't need anything for it to heal because its created to do that by the God who is often refered to as "The Great Physician".

We are not born with a conjoined twin at our side who is a physician.
Before sin came into the world Adam & Eve lived in the Garden of Eden living on a plant based diet. So I think that may be where the herbalism component comes from. Also Jesus healed people with out the aid of doctors. Every once in while someone gets healed from something drastic with out the aid of a Dr.
The website below is an example of that.

There are some spontaneous modern day miracles but they are not prevalent
in our "pharmacological based "medicine era. Our FDA is in bed with big Pharma so we cant trust them to be objective.
We were told for years HRT (hormone replacement therapy ) by pregnant mare urine (Premarin) was a panacea for the main diseases of women only to find out its caused estrogenic breast & uterine cancers and strokes.

Cancer rates are no lower, neither are heart attacks deaths.
In fact Drs & hospital staff cause about some 400,000 deaths a year. And that's from self reporting by the Drs & institutions
themselves.You have to wonder if the actual numbers aren't higher. Its called iatrogenic death. Try search on it.

Clinics & hospitals are run by bean counters (accountants)& not those who care to cure people. In fact they lose their cash cow (sick folk) if you DO get healed. Its really not in their interest to even find out what is causing your inital problem. In fact they don't do the work of knowing the cause -they're into treating the "symptoms" without ever knowing the genesis of the problem.

Remember these are the folks who still think its OK put put mercury in your body long term in the form of tooth fillings.

So I think Christians tend to trust God based or Creation based medicine. I think the final issue is one of trust.
