i like herbal treatment though i have never tried but as i'v heard it has no side effects and we don't have to eat those heavy medicines all the time.
we people should move towards herbs for curing deases more than the medicines cause they won't cause any harm.

Herbal remedies are valid, and beneficial, but do not ever believe they have no side effects. Anything you ingest has some potential for side effects. For instance my brother gets violently ill and throws up if he drinks a tea with chamomile in it. You can have allergic response to them as you can to anything. Other herbs act on heart function,( night shade). Herbs are where our medicines began. Generallly they are milder, take longer to take effect and do have an effect on the whole system not just symptoms. Herbs have a place in pharmaceuticals, and eating certain herbs and spices really benefit chronic illness. An example of that is tumeric, often found in curry. It is shown to relieve symptoms of arthritis. I have also heard some cancers. We are told to drink gingerale for nausea, I always thought because of the carbonation, but it is because ginger is a good remedy for nausea. Also reputed to help arthritis. I believe we ought to look at everything we eat, and eat foods that act as healing agents. We still have to be careful as there are more and more allergies.

Some people won't believe in herbs. Especially those medical herbs from China. They always thought that they weren't studied before, and it is base on people's past experience with it. What do you think?
