A turnaround as regards medicines has been taking place, which is, from the used to synthetic ones to natural based. The introduction of natural based ones came in as food supplements. The manufacturers cannot claim that the products have any therapeutic value for reasons unknown to me. But when we take a good look at the ingredients therein, we will realize that these are actually multivitamins and multiminerals products having been extracted from various fruits, herbs and roots.
The first that I have tried is a liquid type. It did a miracle for us. My youngest son was not given a cure all out of it, but he survived his ordeal. Then a lot more natural based products came at the offing. People tried them because the synthetic ones have various side effects which proved to be insurmountable after continuously being under treatment.
Now, every member of my family has been using the natural based products and at last we can say that we are indeed moving towards having better health. How about you, will you be willing to try natural based medicines? In my country, so many are into it now and most of them have good stories to tell.

Not only in your country, I think almost every where its happning that people are going behind herbal products. These products are so much accepted that some companies are doing fraud in the name of herbals. The heena we apply to hair are sold with the packing titled 'herbal' and are actually chemicals, so we should be careful before using products. The real herbal products are really better than the chemical ones, without any side-effects.

yup. there are companies claiming that their products are all natural. but when we look deeper, actually, it's not.
and i am glad that more and more people believe in the magic and medicinal benefits our natural resources can provide for us.

It is true that the real natural based products are very good. If this is true that some companies claim being herbal but in truth are using chemicals, then the health department must look into this. This is what they are there for. Thank you for this, eshaan. Your input means that government cannot wash their hands about this problem, they must dip their fingers into this in order to protect the general good of the public. After all, we are paying them taxes so they will do their part.

more and more people are adopting this attitude. we have become aware of the side effects that synthetic medicines bring about with them. even doctors admit that they do not know how to remedy the presence or accumulation of precipitates in our bodies after taking medicines for a long period. and the problem that this condition will bring to us is, this can cause the onset of a more serious illness.

yup. synthetic medicines really have lots of side effects after some years of using it. synthetics are composed of different chemicals compounded as one. some of them can cure a certain disease but later on, will affect some other parts of the body.
i am glad that herbal medicines are being welcomed these days. i am a pharmacist by profession and even when we were still studying, we studied different plants and their medicinal uses. our thesis were even based on the different uses of plants as alternative to synthetic ones.
most people love natural based products than synthetics. and i am much a user of natural based products. and i say, i don't have the side effects i get from the synthetic ones.
happy myLotting!

synthetic always have side effects, specially when taking it for a very long time. Furthermore, there are a lot of new kinds of sickness popping out that people are starting to be aware of their health. For minor illness, i would much prefer natural based. Better yet, to prevent these illness/diseases, people opt for a more healthy lifestyle like exercise, eating the right food and no excessive eating.

hello, im_anna, nice to meet you around here. taking these natural products as a good source of our daily vitamins and minerals will prevent the development of most dreaded diseases. and this has been proven even to cure more lethal diseases. it appears now, that most of our sickness is due mostly to an unbalanced diet. we do not ingest the needed nutrients for our body from the food we eat.
