These days many people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor. In ancient times, people used alternative medicine or folk medicine, which is treating themselves with herbs, etc. In this article, I will discuss the pros and cons. From my point of view, I see that the negatives in using traditional or folk medicine are more than the positives،there are many reasons for this, such as No one knows how this medicine affects a person or what the complications of this medicine are.There are also some cases in which herbs are used that have complications such as allergies, which can cause death for some. It is also possible for a non-specialized person to use herbs, which is dangerous.
