¿what is better?¿traditional medicine or modern medicine?¿what do you prefer?
in fact, what we know as modern medicine is not based as much on scientific advances as is thought. Actually, medicine is much more like preparing remedies at home than you can imagine. And a very important partof the medications we use in general come from the classic methods that our culture had. who has not felt better after a glass of warm milk with honey and a few hours of rest? or neutralize the acids in the food with a spoonful of lemon juice? these principles have been applied to advanced formulas, which in many cases are no more than the synthetic version of home remedies. Although modern medicine is now available to the majority of the population, alternative medicine has maintained its popularity due to its cultural and historical impact, people believe in it and it is effective in many common diseases, has few side effects and is preferable from the economic point of view compared to modern medicine.
Why choose?
we don't have to choose between one or another type of medicine. Both have points in favor and some negative effects, so the ideal is to know how to combine everything to improve our state of health. a good diet, in which natural remedies are included, acts as a preventive barrier against certain health problems. once these are presented, the doctor may have to help us. but it is important to see one as the complement of the other. when i was 5 years old i was very prone to have diseases, when i had a fever my mother bathed me with mallow leaves to calm the fever, she also gave me my infusion with chamomile leaves or anis when i had a stomachache.
the advantages of alternative medicine and complementary medicine:
the techniques used are less agressive to the body and have no side effects. it also has no long-term effects they are accessible to anyone, since they are cheaper. for other hand they benefit the person in their general well-being, considering the patient as a whole. in summary they are not aggressive to the body and are preventive, thet is only must they be used to cure the disease, but to prevent it.
the disadvantages of alternative medicine and complementary medicine:
however there is an insecurity regarding their products,s the quality given that they dont't pass controls as do the medicines, in this way they don't vertify all the results that the product offers. the effects of alternative natural medicine act more slowly on the symptoms that cause the disease, and less effective in alleviating an acute problem, the continuity of the treatment is little controlled, since the doses vary among therapists due to lack of consensus. in in emergencies they aren't valid, given that their spectrum is very limited because of the lack of consensus among professionals it is not uncommon to find opportunists and fraudsters, far below the norms that protect the pharmacological industry the treatments aren't absolute and infallible.
Finally, it is important to point out that it is not a matter of discriminating against one specialty or another, both are excellent, with unobjectionable results, since scientific medicine is vital in acute processes, in emergencies, where rapid intervention is required; but alternative medicine is, in chronic processes, in degenerative disease, where the sequel already exists. the medicine of the future should not be one or the other separately, on the contrary, they should merge and work together, with the same objective: offer the patient the best of the best.
