Nowadays, a growing number of people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?

Over the

last

few decades, medical science developed at a very rapid speed and cures are invented for most diseases. With these advancements knowledge of

this

field is

also

spread among

people

. Now,

people

try to take different medicines and use other methods of treatment from their own experiences rather than consulting regular

doctors

.

This

way of treatment should be discouraged because it has negative effects on health. In

this

essay, I will give reasons with examples to clarify

this

statement.

To begin

with,

people

generally don't know the root cause of their problem and they use medicine on the basis of their previous experiences which is very dangerous for any patient.

For example

, if anyone goes to the doctor for pain in the head after a check-up, a doctor finds out that his blood pressure is high which is why he is feeling pain in the head and he gave tablets to decrease the high blood pressure.

Hence

, in future maybe

this

patient again take the same tablet for headaches which will affect his blood pressure and

as a result

, he may face serious health problems.

Secondly

, different methods of treatment are suitable for different patients. Sometimes

people

take advice from others regarding their problems and as per their ,

recommendation

the recommendation

show examples

they start treating their own problems that are

also

completely wrong because maybe the

first

patient has the same symptoms but the actual cause of the problem is different.

therefore

, by acting on his advice he may get into trouble

instead

of solving it.

On the other hand

,

people

also

argue that some diseases have the same treatments all over the world and they don't have to go to

doctors

and take medicine at home to treat them. like, panadol is used for headaches all over the world but still for more complicated issues that model does not work. In conclusion,

people

use medicines on their own

instead

of going to

doctors

.

this

practice is generally incorrect because

doctors

are trained professionals and only they have the required skill set to identify and treat health issues. Personally, I think by taking things into their own
