Many people choose natural healing methods such acupuncture and massage therapy to recover from illness. Others prefer to use pharmaceutical drugs prescribed by their doctor for their aliments

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
Nowadays people are splitted into two categories: there are some that prefer using classical
drugs
for recovering from an desease, while others are more willing to select alternative ways for feeling better. In my opinion there should be a balance between both the alternatives, as a person cannot always rely on natural remedies, but the same worth for the
drugs
as they may provide addiction, and
further
problems. Natural methods are becoming very commonly used,
in particular
for minor problems
such
as back
pain
or little ill like flu. Examples of these remedies are massages, frequently choosen for problems related to muscles rigidity and back pains. Massages can provide to client’s bodi an immediate benefits. Another well known, but different, alternative remedy is the use of omeopathy for the minor ill
such
as throat
pain
.
However
, there are some ill or some
pain
that cannot be solved only with natural therapies, when you realise that your throat
pain
does not go away after 10 days you should start to opt for some
drugs
, under medical prescription, in order to feel better. The problem of the
drugs
is that if your body get used to it, they lose their effect. Lets assume that a person suffer of frequent headhache, and every time he feel the
pain
he took a paracetamol pill, after one year he will need 2 pills for getting the same effect and so on. To sum up, people should recognise whether it worth to use medicines to face the
pain
. I think that no one should rely just on one of the two methods but they should try to recognise what kind of
pain
they feel.
