I just need your oppinion if you prefer taking herbal of the artifial medicines. Many countries still practicing the natural way of curing their illness. Like beach and sand theraphy. Do you prefer doing natural or scientifical way of curing your illness

hi oda__crem as a former nurse's aide I prefer to go to my' doctor and accept his advice and his prescriptions as I have no way of knowing how much of a certain herb would help me or 'how much might make me really sicker. not all herbs just because they are natural are safe to take internally. there is no real check for safety on the herbs sold in the stores so we do not have anyway of knowing if we are taking the right amounts. my doctor on the other hand knows what will work for what ailment and that is what counts for me.

If i have some small sickness like cold, cough and fever i would prefer to use herbal medicines than taking chemical medicines like over the counter tablets and capsules. herbal medicine is a good practice since it has natural ingredients which is good for the body but there are some herbal medicine that won't cure and need chemical medicines for faster recovery.
