Nowadays, many
people
try to find
alternative
medication
as their health solution,
such
as Ayurveda and allopathic
medicine
.

Overall,
alternative
medication
can give hope to those
people
who want to give up on their health condition. Meanwhile,
this
medication
still has lack research about its safety and effect on some diseases.
First
of all,
alternative
medicines have been used for many years before modern
medications
exist.
As a result
, many
people
believe that it can be used as an
alternative
solution when modern
medications
cannot help them anymore, which is giving new hope for
people
to be healthy again and get recovery. Take Chinese
medicine
as an example,
namely

acupuncture which has been used since a long time ago in Chinese regions. Many health institutions have already used
this
alternative
therapy to some critical illness problems and have shown a good result.

some

gives benefits to
people
who give up on modern
medication
.
On the other hand
, there is a disadvantage of using
alternative
medicine
because there is only a little information related to
this
therapy. Many cases have shown that
alternative
medicine
can bring complications to a patient's body if the doctor does not control the therapy.
For instance
, a traditional
medicine
, namely Jammu that
people
in Indonesia have been using since many years ago, brings to complication diseases like chronic liver disease and digestion problems.
This
is why we always have to get a doctor's suggestion before taking any
alternative
medications
. To conclude, I believe that
alternative
medications
can give hope and benefits to
people
who suffer chronic disease for a long time
although
it
also
has a drawback that brings other complications.
That is
why we have to consult with our doctor
first
and read many references before we are taking
alternative
medications
.
