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 past few years, there has been growth in the number of people cutting down on seeing the usual doctor and preferring to use
alternative
 methods and nature-based products which can be good for patient health, I would argue and give more details that there are far more downsides. People recently tend to make use of diverse therapists,
such
 as herbal products, Aromatherapy, meditation, and peppermint
due to
 flexible reasons. At
first,
treatment can cure illness without side effects potentially like other modern medicines that can follow in several complications like Allergic, latent sequelae, and bad-react.
Patients
’ livers
also
 be harmed by chemical ingredients in medicine day by day.
Alternative
 medicines have the majority of nature-component
such
 as oils and herbs so there seem to be less of harmful substances in
patients
 who have long-term use of treatment

Moreover
,
alternative
treatments
 are usually cheaper and more convenient than medicines,
for example
:
patients
 can do yoga or medication at home when they want to kill their time. Maybe,
patients
 can plant herbs by hand in their garden for free.
On the other hand
,
this
 phenomenon can be given lots of various problems. At
first,
both
alternative
treatments
 and medications are effective. Not any
alternative
 has proved itself to ensure your disease would be cured.
Therefore
,
patients
 might not know which illness they are suffering from and end up wasting time or struggling with pain caused by illness. For acute disease – the worst of phase disease, Herbs and nature therapy have no way to help their health but it’s will better than to cure with medical
treatments
. In conclusion, both
alternative
 therapists and medication
treatments
 are good for
patients
’ diseases if they consider which way would be better and suitable for their medical condition. Or both of those can be mixed up to support each other, against and release more painful, secondary effects out of the patient’s body.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
