i’ve been thinking about how people approach health when they’re feeling unwell. some folks prefer to go to a doctor or use pharmaceutical medicine from the pharmacy, while others choose herbal remedies or alternative treatments. personally, i prefer using herbal remedies because i believe that all the ingredients in pharmaceutical medicines ultimately come from nature, and we can find those remedies ourselves in plants. what about you?

edit: cmon guys it’s not about the traditional vs modern treatment. just wanna know other’s opinion about this…

    I’m in the UK where we’ve got the NHS and cheap medicine, so that might be why I’m hard on the “just give me the medicine” side of things.

    I can’t think of any situation when I’d pick an alternative herbal medicine over the medical solution from a chemist if I actually had a problem I wanted to resolve.

      True can confirm. It appears like a cultural barrier to me when I read about Americans trusting a tiktoker for their medications that (a month later) turns out to have no FDA verification and no overseas certification either. Its literally only the person making it knows what’s in it situation.
