Currently there is a trend towards the use of alternative forms of medicine. However, at best these methods are ineffective, and at worst they may be dangerous.**To what extent do you agree with this statement?*
Alternative
medicine
is not new to the world. It has been practised for thousands of years. Some people
believe that alternative
medicine
is effective while others are not convinced with the statement and they argue that these methods may be dangerous to health
. This
essay will discuss both views on this
statement.
To begin
with, taking a heavy dose of conventional medicine
for small health
problems
may lead to further
complications, it is better to take alternative
medicine
like herbal medicine
, acupuncture. For example
, due to busy schedules and stressful work, many people
are facing several health
problems
like headache obesity. For these kinds of health
issues taking painkillers and other medications in a long run is not suggestible as these may have other side effects. Using herbal medicine
or herbal tea may give relief easily. There are some instances where people
started walking after getting a proper ayurvedic massage. Regular massage with ayurvedic medicine
improves blood circulation, reduce physical and mental stress, remove toxins from the body and also
promotes better sleep.
On the other hand
, these type of treatments may be dangerous if it is done incorrectly. Excessive consumption of this
herbal medicine
without proper knowledge may lead to internal organs malfunction and other health
problems
. Severe health
problems
require immediate attention and treatment, and ignoring signs can lead to more serious issues such
as cancer. Acute health
problems
like accidental injury, often require more conventional methods.A brain tumour may cause a heavy migraine, and only herbal medicine
or acupuncture is not enough. Therefore
, people
should listen to their signs and do not take them lightly.
To conclude, both modern and alternative
medicine
options are useful these days.Submitted by mallika.annu on
