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 glad you’re putting some thought into the remedies, at least.
I could tell you that regardless of your personal experience with your mom, statistically blah blah blah, normal medicine works the best. And it would be true, but I’m not going to bother you with it today. There are a million reasons why your mom’s situation could have worked out the way that it did, and I don’t know enough to speculate why it worked that way.
I mean, don’t you think it’s a little egotistical to think that your solution would be as effective as the one that’s based on the same principles but has been refined by at least dozens of trained professionals? You’re only doing this with stuff where effectiveness doesn’t matter too much, so maybe the mental benefits of making your own herbal remedies outweighs any physical downsides to doing so in your case, but the effectiveness gap would be a compelling reason why not to do it yourself. But like I said, if you’re aware that herbal solutions are less potent, you don’t actually need that potency, and you enjoy making the herbal stuff, there’s no harm in using it for common ailments.

Yup. Even the most crazy experimental treatments have gone through dozens. Common medicines are one of the most studied substances on the planet.
time effectiveness doesn’t matter for me, but if you’re talking about the effectiveness about the meds especially for little issues, for me, it’s the same. i just don’t like something instant, i do enjoy the process of everything that i do though. just asking for opinion here, all opinions are welcome 👌
Exactly; the process itself feels good. I hope you continue to enjoy it.
By declaring all opinions on a factual topic equally valid, you’re giving the same weight to reality as you do to misinformation. I do not welcome misinformation. This may seem close-minded, but having an open mind doesn’t mean accepting everything as equally true.
i’m not saying all opinions are valid, i’m a truth seeker myself i don’t want misinformation or spreading it. but people can say what they think, it’s just us who decides is that info is true or not. that’s why i call it as “opinion” not “argument”
