hiya I prefer meds from the docs etc etc most of the normal meds that come in tbalet form from the docs etc etc contain herbs and plant extracts so in a round about sort of a way you are still taking herbs and plants when you have a tablet from the docs. The active part of any medicine comes back to nature at some point.

I always take the herbal supplements, or the natural way to correct things that are wrong I do not like synthetic medications because they are made in a lab using things that are not natural for our bodies. and they do not have the nutrients that we need, so in my opinion they are worthless, and they can cause too many other things to go wrong, and they have too many side effects, some that are worst than what we are trying to fix.

Step 1. Evaluate the problem. Detemine what I am missing or getting too much of in my daily routine - sleep, proper diet, special fruits, vegetables, proteins, exercise, water, minerals, sugar, salt, stress, sun, fatigue, whatever. Step 2. Correct the problem naturally by doing the right thing. If it's sleep I need, try to get t bed a little earlier. If I haven't had fruit in a couple of days, then try eating some fruit. If I have been eating the chips and salsa that I dearly love, then they are salty, I may need to add a synthetic diuretic for quick relief. Or, I may eat foods that I know have a diuretic effect. Step 3. Supplement the natural process with herbal medicine when possible. Take daily supplements for health anyway. Step 4. Take synthetic meds for the stuff that is too far gone for herbs to fix. :)
