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

Before

medicine

was introduced in the 18th century, humans resolved on other ways of healing like leaches removing toxins, or using poison to cure others’ sickness. Nowadays, some

people

tend to alternative medicines and treatments rather than visiting their usual doctor's subscription. In my opinion, the disadvantage outweighs the advantages of using traditional

medicine

. In

this

essay, I'll try to discuss the pros and cons. On the one hand, risks might occur

while

taking medication without a doctor's prescription. In fact,

instead

of modern

medicine

, some

people

use traditional drugs like herbs, dry leaves/tree bark, and dry mushrooms.

Although

this

could be a sufficient way for recovery, research has shown some cases could lead to a person's health in a negative way, from side effects to allergic reactions when using the wrong medications during the process of self-care at home.

Besides

,

people

often accept what they want to think, even though the result cannot be correct because there are innumerable results for

such

basic symptoms. After accepting their illness, they look for a cure on their own. When individuals look up information about their stomachache, a wider range of health conditions are reported, from food poisoning to stomach cancer.

This

can lead to misdiagnosis

as well as

a decline in mental health.

In addition

to anxiety, despair, and overanalyzing.

On the contrary

, the payment and regulatory environment in hospitals offer the sufficient provision of supporting infrastructures including digital tools in cases of emergencies of those who have acute ailments.

On the other hand

, the many reasons for some

people

usually don't go to doctors. Since home therapies are more practical and time-saving, many

people

would prefer them, particularly if they live distant from hospitals and medical facilities and have already received a diagnosis of a moderate ailment. As for alternative medicines, they’re environmentally friendly but come with risks. Pharmaceutical plants are using harmful chemicals which has a harmful effect on the environment and include a tax on the drugs sold. The main reason is that alternative

medicine

is cheaper than regular treatment rather than going to a pharmacy to afford drugs but with tax included. In a nutshell, the central conclusion from

this

review is that whether

this

issue is positive or negative depends on certain situations with particular diseases. In fact, a home-based remedy seems to be working for someone who can’t get access to local hospitals easily or has less severe diseases.

However

, modernized

medicine

will bring along revolution in the field and older treatment will be a thing of the past and

people

will believe it more than in the past they used to be.
