Do not fall for those "Its all in your head" myths about herbal medicines, the cure resulting from most scientific medicines is conjured up in your mind. All natural medicines are the best way to go if it is applicable, remember there are some medical conditions that can only be treated through science its up to you. But id go with all natural herbal medicines and stick with those until i don't have a choice because taking pills is not good for the liver, anything you consume is filtered through the liver. Antibiotics wont work forever they will only help create super bugs and then where are we????

Well, after a series of science on this subject, scientists have found out that a lot of herbal medicine sits mostly in the patients minds. Ergo, they think it works, and they therefore get well..

You should take medicine for whatever you are having problems with. If you have a cough, then take cough medicine that you can buy at the store. STAY AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND BABIES! You do not want to get them sick because their bodies are smaller!

Hello jlo228, Colds, its very common now a days here in our place with the kind weather we have. The sun is up and hot in the mornings then it would suddenly rain in the afternoon or the evening, the weather's always changing. I caught a cold for the past 2 days and have headaches but its getting better now. I don't like to take medicine for it. I just drink a lot of water always and lots of vitamin c, calamansi juice. Also I had a good rest to clear up my headaches. :-)
