herbal medicines obviously came from medicinal plants and is everywhere. others make efforts to plant it on their backyard, not just for medical purposes but also for its aesthetic value. it adds beauty to the design of the yard. since the dawn of the civilization known people in history had used medicinal plants to cure illnesses. but as civilization advances, science and modern medicine come to the picture producing the chemical medicines.
unlike chemical medicines where you hastle free buy from the pharmacy and drink it immediatley, herbal medicines took time to create. plus the factor of looking for the exact plant or growing the said plant. what makes me smile along this line is the fact that chemical medicines has tinctures of the juices of these medical plants, which qualifies our argument that it had came from the same herbal plants.
however we compare these two medicines, one distinct trait of herbal medicine that is unique no one can contest - its priceless.

Yes, my friend, you are right.
We have to use natural resources only.

we really have to. by continuing usage of chemical medicine will corrupt our system. i mean, i do not really generalize it. but we have the tendency to buy chemical medicine immediately without consulting a physician. is it by mere habbit or whatever? we do not know if it is the right medicine after all. why won't we try herbal medicines first, while waiting for our trip to the physician? but do not tell them you did so, they naturally get humiliated and therefore gets angry. hehehe...

That is an excellent presentation. Very informative, and very educational. I would think a number of chemical medicines are made from herbs too, right ? There are people in a number of countries practising herbal medicine, and many patients go to them.

yes.actually all those chemical medicines came from herbal plants.the only difference is the preparation process.herbal.medicines arw used monutes after its pluck or pick out.but chemical medicines are herbal plants brought to the laboratory for processing and along the process is injecting other chemicals to enhance the nature of the herbal plant.i just do not exactly know the process.but thats how it is being done i supposed.

I agree that herbal medicines are far more safe and economical to use compared with it's chemical counterparts. It is sad to say that most people prefer using the chemical based medicines because it is prescribed by their respective physicians.
