It can be complementary. Some cases which cannot be solved by allopathy, there are herbal solutions. Both can be taken together. Research is going on bio-enhancers which are produced by plants. They can increase efficacy of allopathic antibiotics. So the doses are reduced. In some cases like cerebral malaria problem or malarial infection, an answer came from CIMAP in the form of anti-malaria drug which is now being used by patients across forty countries. Sometimes it will substitute, sometimes it will complement.
