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?

Nowadays, many people having health issues are relying on traditional

medicine

and therapies more than general western

medicine

. I think

this

is a negative development mainly due to these traditional remedies are not effective in emergency situations and

also

most of these are not authorized.

Firstly

, traditional herbs and

treatments

are not effective as conventional

medicine

. So these

treatments

and drugs are not suitable to use in situations where patients need emergency

treatments

.

For example

, patients with cancer, need special medication as soon as they are identified because it is very important to treat them with proper effective

medicine

on time. And if the patient

the traditional home remedies, they will lose the opportunity to cure faster due to its spread in other parts of their body.

On the other hand

, most of the alternatives are not well-reputed. In most countries, herbal medicines are not classified as permitted tested drugs for specific illnesses.

Additionally

, there is no guarantee of the efficiency, long-term effects as well as side effects of using them for a long period of time even though these drugs are less expensive than conventional

medicine

. And

also

when it comes to herbal therapy, the majority of the centres are conducted by people who are not specialised

the subject and they just practice based on their family experience.

Therefore

, it is crucial to think twice before considering traditional

medicine

and

treatments

for serious illnesses. To sum up,

this

is obviously a negative impression on people to follow herbal

medicine

and

treatments

for most health issues.

This

should be considered especially due to two main aspects

such

as less efficiency and less reputation of traditional herbs and therapy.
