In
this
 modern era, a large number of individuals having health issues usually do self-treatments
instead
 of meeting medical experts. It is better for educated
people
 who are aware of medicines
otherwise
 they may cause harm. In
this
 essay, I will describe the positive side and alternate effects of self-treatments.
To begin
 with, in
this
 century everyone has a little bit of knowledge about
medicine
.
Such
 as one can take
medicine
 for minor issues.
For instance
, headaches, stomach pain and treating small wounds without visiting their usual
doctors
.
As a result
,
people
 can save money as well as time.
Moreover
,
people
 have a busy schedule due to which they have no time to visit the hospital. To elaborate more, electors have no time and patience to stand in lines to meet their doctor.
Hence
, they took
medicine
 by treatments.
Furthermore
, they avoid taking a lot of
medicine
 recommended by
doctors
 that's what they treat themselves at home with one
medicine
.
In contrast
, it may cause an abundance of risks to taking alternate
medicine
 without consulting their
doctors
.
Firstly
, self-treatments may invite new diseases.
For example
,
doctors
 told the actual reason for the illness and suggest better treatment to the patient while it is not possible by home treatments.
On the other hand
,
doctors
 are the only
people
 who know deeply about the reason behind the sickness.
Therefore
,
doctors
 can give proper medical treatment to their
people
 according to their problems. In conclusion,
doctors
 play a vital role to fight with the health problems. They not only give
medicine
 to their patients but
also
 suggest they do exercise and yoga.
Thus
,
people
 can enjoy their fit and healthy life. No dought, human beings can self-treatment a few diseases which arise due to over workload.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
