The world is full of plants created by God for the sake of all humanity. And early people way back to 2000 years ago utilize the plants as a medicine to their illnesses. They don't yet have drugs that we have today so their only hope is to embrace the power lies in plants and herbs to help them cure their ailments.
Every country has many cultures and rich in their own traditions. One of the oldest traditions in every country is the used of medicine through plants and herbs. Natural herbs or therapeutic plants possess a long background in treating disease. We are all familiar with the wonder of Garlic, Peppermint, Lavender, and other common herbs.
In our present time, Interest in medicinal plants is increasing again because some people cannot even afford to buy drugs in pharmacies. Mostly to those who are poor. They tend to depend only on herbs to cure their sickness.
And these plants really can help in making them well. Ther were large bodies of evidence to prove the effectiveness of these so called natural remedies and guaranteed to have no side effect were already been proven even in the time of our ancestors.
Taking into consideration the very long traditional use of herbal medicine and all the evidence that gathered for its effectiveness. Why is it that we aren't generally encouraged to used these herbal treatments, instead of man made, incomplete replications of natural herbs, called drugs. Considering the huge amount of money being put in looking for these types of seemingly evasive substances?
Herbs are considered treasures when it comes to ancient cultures, and many of these kinds are worth their weight in gold. Like we have here in the Philippines. We are rich here when it comes to traditions and cultures. Herbs also were one of the best natural remedies here when it comes to sickness. like for example( sambong or blumea camphor good for kidney problem, lagundi or chased tree is treatment for cough and asthma, banaba or giant crape myrtle that is good treatment for diabetes and for kidney)and many more.
Nowadays, there were so many fake drugs created by fraud companies that might harm us, instead of curing us of sickness.
I'm not saying that all drugs were such, my point is that, it has already existed and you might even buy some of them in pharmacies. So scary!
Even drugs that were legally proven, still, side effects can occur during medication and that's the fact about these drugs.
These were all consequences that we have to face in choosing the medicine that's best for us.
STAY HEALTHY!!!
