By Elaine Guthrie


In the advent of modern science most people tend to overlook herbal medicine and some only view this form of medicine as an inferior version of treatment. But the truth of the matter arises whenever we think about our fore fathers. In all cases, they did not have the modern technology we have currently. They used herbal medicines to treat the diseases they had back then, despite the fact that we have these modern science we have to acknowledge the fact that natural alternatives to prescription drugs works.

Modern medication has proved to be fast and effective in terms of treating the set disease, but the flip side of prescribed drugs is the side effects. Many of the prescribed drugs come with side effects that many people do not think about, they range from addictions to headaches and some even lead to formation of other diseases. These side effects are not a common issue among the users of raw medication. This is because natural remedies have no remnants in the body that may cause the side effects.

In terms of cost, raw medicine can be cheaper at times as compared to prescription drugs. This is because just as they are called they are natural, they are found in nature and since its free and at times cheaper than the prescribed manufactured drugs. The difference is cost is due to the manufacturing of the drug and also processing and distribution of the prescription medicine.

In most cases in the modern society people tend to go for prescription medicine this is because of its accuracy to which they treat the ailment but on the other end they tend to overlook the advantages raw drugs offer. We all know that they are from nature but in many instances these remedies not only cure the ailment but also adds more nutrients to the body.

An example of a these alternative that cures many diseases is the Aloe Vera; this plant is known for curing many diseases without any side effect recorded. Its known to be a pain reliever in case one has pains and its also known to cure skin rashes. In comparison to sulphur it does not have the burn effect whenever it is used on the skin instead it has a smoothening effect.

Massive intake of prescribed drugs is harmful to the health of any individual and it may at times be fatal and on the other hand when one takes the drugs in partiality then they may not get well. Non-artificial medication rarely has such side effects, since its like food. When one takes in too much they are rarely affected so it it when they take too little and at the end of the dosage they still get well.

Modern science is also turning to non-artificial alternatives to cure diseases and ailments. The use of leach to suck up blood clots and swells is a natural method that is used in modern science. They use this method instead of using pumps to siphon out the blood.

Currently the number of users of these remedies is slowly rising. This is due to the awakening of people to the advantages of using natural medication.
