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?

These days, an increasing number of individuals who suffer from some health issues prefer to use traditional

medicines

and treatments rather than going to the doctor. In my opinion, I think

this

is a positive development which can help in saving money and physical therapy is better than advanced therapy.

Firstly

, herbal

medicines

are medications whose ingredients are made from mostly plants.

In other words

, they are not only natural but

also

helpful and cheaper than medicine in clinics.

People

can

also

find them easily because some of these

medicines

are extracted from trees that can be planted in our backyard.

As a result

, when

people

suffer from health issues

such

as fever, they can rely on herbal remedies namely tea with ginger leaves

instead

of visiting a doctor which can be costly.

Hence

,

this

clearly can save them money. Another good reason is that traditional

medicines

are healthier and have more benefits in general.

That is

to say, traditional

medicines

can help control diseases namely high blood pressure or high cholesterol without giving any side effects to the patients.

This

could be seen in the past when our ancient ancestors used plants and herbs to reduce pain, treat headaches and even prevent diseases including epidemics. The knowledge of other healing properties has been transmitted over the centuries within and among human communities.

On the other hand

, when

people

consume modern

medicines

, they will experience some adverse effects namely allergic reactions. In conclusion, I once again reaffirm my position that traditional

medicines

are beneficial to humans.

People

should rely on traditional

medicines

more than modern

medicines

.
