The Merits And Demerits Of Natural Herbal Remedies


By Peter Murphy


Herbs have been part of the human life for several centuries. Though its usage and popularity has dropped as a result of improvement in healthcare technology, it has not its value entirely. In fact, there are several areas which natural herbal remedies are more effective than modern medicine. The first part of the article will look at some of the ways in which herbs offer more value than modern medical treatment. On the second part will cover on some of the drawbacks of using them.

Among the advantages of such medicine, the most outstanding one is that some natural remedies are more effective in treating chronic conditions such as arthritis. They are suitable for treating long-standing illnesses that do not respond to mainstream drugs. For instance, some doctors recommend dietary changes such as reducing sugar consumption and including simple herbs into meals.

Another best thing about using herbs is their reduced risk of side effects. Overall, plant extracts have fewer side effects than pharmaceutical drugs. Besides this, they tend to offer long lasting solutions to your health concerns. So, they may be safe for use over a long period of time.

Another benefit of using herbs for treatment is because it is the lesser expensive option. If you do not have a proper health plan, you might end up paying a lot of money from your pocket to cover for medical treatment cost. The final cost for pharmaceutical drugs has to take into consideration the research, marketing, and testing costs. Fortunately, you can buy most of the organic medicine at a reasonable price from local suppliers. Furthermore, herbs are widely available and you do not need a prescription. This may be the only immediate form of treatment available to people living in rural areas. In some cases, you can grow some of the herbs at home.

Having learned how and why natures medicine is becoming popular, it is now time to see how it can be inferior to mainstream medical treatment. There are some serious conditions which often require intervention treatment, for instance, heart attack. Another example is someone who has a broken limb. In these situations, modern medicine offers the best treatment.

Another reason natural treatment might be inferior is that it is a slow healing. If you do not have patience, you might end up leaving your treatment when you are not fully recovered. The fact that it does not have prescription might complicate things for some patient when treating specific illnesses. On the contrast, modern medical treatment has a more straightforward way of handling various conditions.

True, natural remedies might have minimal side effects, but there a bigger risk of consuming poisonous substances. The risk increases, if you are harvesting in the bush. You might either harvest the wrong plant or use the wrong part of the pant to prepare the treatment.

While the advantages of using herbal medicine overpower the demerits, use of herbals is not regulated, so there is no guarantee that what you bought is high-quality herbs. Some manufacturers manufacture herbal products with varying quality levels thus making it difficult to prescribe a proper dosage to a particular illness. So, it is always safe to seek advice from a qualified practitioner.
