It depends. Some of the stuff you listed, like acupuncture, has been shown to be useful. The rest is probably just a placebo effect. Also, doctors tend to be pretty busy, and in a pressure to treat as many patients as possible in a short time - even though they might not know as much actual medicine, alternative healers might have the advantage of having more time to treat you. That has a useful psychological effect as well. Massages help you relax, and reducing your stress usually helps ward off disease as well. Etc.
If you're sick, it probably doesn't hurt to try some alternative medicine if that's your cup of tea. Usually. (Those herbs might have undocumented side-effects or outright make things worse. Or they could cause interesting interactions with the medicine you're taking.) Still, if you want to be sure that the treatment you're getting is actually doing something, I'd mainly stick with the treatments that have passed double-blind studies.
