More and more people are suffering from health problems caused by a modern lifestyle which cannot be treated with modern medicine. Some people think that a return to traditional medicine should be encouraged. To what extent do you agree?

There is no doubt that natural

medicine

may hold a lot of benefits in the management of modern lifestyle-related health problems like obesity, diabetes, cancer and hypertension. While some argue that since these conditions can not be treated with orthodox

medicine

Use synonyms

, a return to traditional

medicine

Use synonyms

should be advocated for.

This

Linking Words

essay shall explain my option that due to the superiority of orthodox

medicine

Use synonyms

, occasioned by the huge investment in its

research

Use synonyms

and

study

Use synonyms

, traditional

medicine

Use synonyms

does not stand a chance against modern

medicine

Use synonyms

in the

treatment

Use synonyms

of the above-mentioned conditions.

To begin

Linking Words

,

although

Linking Words

natural

medicine

Use synonyms

gave birth to modern

medicine

Use synonyms

, perhaps due to years of neglect, traditional

medicine

Use synonyms

has become far inferior to orthodox

medicine

Use synonyms

.

This

is because orthodox medical fields are widely being researched and studied in laboratories and institutions all around the world.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, annually billions, even trillions of dollars are invested into

research

Use synonyms

in pharmacy, radiology, cancer care and surgical procedures and treatments for diseases.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, various universities around the world have standardised curricula for the

study

Use synonyms

of various branches of modern healthcare professions, aimed at expounding the knowledge base to tackle contemporary health challenges.

This

Linking Words

is not the case in natural

medicine

Use synonyms

, which does not attract as much attention and

research

Use synonyms

investment.

Secondly

Linking Words

, the decades of

research

Use synonyms

breakthroughs in orthodox

medicine

Use synonyms

have made its procedures and

treatment

Use synonyms

very standardised. For illustration, dosages of drugs for specific age and weight classes of patients, standard surgical equipment and procedures, specific radiological

treatment

Use synonyms

options and dietary plans have been discovered, all thanks to the efforts of medical researchers.

In contrast

Linking Words

, in Nigeria,

for instance

Linking Words

, natural

medicine

Use synonyms

and

treatment

Use synonyms

are still at their crude stage. It is commonplace to see herbal drug vendors selling in markets, crowded motor parks and unhygienic places, claiming to have herbs that cure multiple diseases, sometimes all common diseases. I,

therefore

Linking Words

, opine that more financial and

research

Use synonyms

investments must be made to improve the level of practice and

study

Use synonyms

of natural

medicine

Use synonyms

if it's to be compared to modern

medicine

Use synonyms

. If

this

Linking Words

is done, alternate, or even, better

treatment

Use synonyms

options and even novel treatments could be discovered in conditions where modern

medicine

Use synonyms

might have failed. In conclusion, traditional

medicine

Use synonyms

requires more standardisation and organisation, and more attention and huge investments to favourably compete with orthodox

medicine

Use synonyms

in the

treatment

Use synonyms

of lifestyle health problems.

Besides

Linking Words

, a structured curriculum for the training and

study

Use synonyms

of natural

medicine

Use synonyms

in tertiary institutions would

also

be necessary.
