Have you imagined something that can rescue you from an unbearable headache so easily? Sometimes it seems impossible to get rid of this pain. But; there is a cure which you can never imagine: Alternative Medicine. Probably, if the point is alternative medicine, the first thing coming to mind is herbalism. But; it is not limited to herbalism. Alternative medicine is a very wide field and it dates back to 3000 B.C. Doctors used variety of plants to cure diseases in that time. They discovered a lot of techniques for ailment and recommended them to the patients. But since then, there have been three main issues most people do not know much: How to use it without harm, how to use it with a reasonable price, which methods are used for which diseases.
Firstly, people have a common idea that plants have no harm. So they have a tendency to use a plant without having any information about it. They just search for it on the net and begin to use. But; they are totally wrong. They should absolutely consult with a doctor before using an herb because some plants may have adverse effects. For example, the sage tea is very useful for making the body stronger and mostly it is used for lessening extreme sweating. But when it is used more than enough, it may cause the heart to beat faster and even lead to a heart attack. This is the case for stinging nettle. Also, there are a lot of people misleading others on the net. Those people aim to deceive others and make money from this. They sell herbal medicine for a really high price so that they can make profit from it. For example, my cousin saw herbal medicine for her acnes. She was fed up with acnes so much that she was ready to believe in this treatment. She neither did research for this medicine nor let her parents know this. She bought and used it secretly. The medicine was completely useless and my cousin found out later that the medicine which she bought was four times as much as the ones in the pharmacy. They were utterly the same. Hence, people should consult with a doctor and do research in detail before using the herbs.
Secondly, people should prefer herbs grown in their own countries because some plants grown abroad and brought to the country costs much more than the ones grown in home country. Using the imported plants is harmful for the county’s economy. For example, there is a plant called bromelain in Europe. It functions the same as çörek otu in Turkey. So Turkish people should prefer çörek otu instead of using bromelain imported from Europe. Those herbs grown in home country cost less than others imported. For example, my friend having been abroad for three years said that herbal medicines in Europe were very expensive. He used a medicine called diallilsülfit for his bronchitis. But after coming back to Turkey, he found out that the medicine he used was made of garlic. So garlic functions as same as diallilsülfit in treating the bronchitis. And while garlic is quite cheap, diallilsulfit is so expensive. Consequently, using imported herbal medicine is bad for both your own budget and that of your country.
Thirdly, people should know that alternative medicine does not include just herbals. It has a variety of methods for curing the illnesses, both physically and mentally. For example, one of the most common ways of treating the cancer is hepitermi. It has a different technique from traditional medicine for cancer. It is also used for the asthma treatment. Ozone gas treatment is the second most common way of treating the physical diseases. Also, alternative medicine has some different types of treatment for mental troubles, such as distress, panic attack. One of the most common therapies is acupuncture. It is performed by inserting needles into the body. It is believed to lessen the pain of the patient and relieves him/her. Some people believe that acupuncture releases all negative energy from the body. The second most common therapy is yoga. Yoga makes a person more fit and also it improves one’s health. It is getting more popular among people day by day.
In short, people sometimes use herbals without being aware of their harmful sides. Herbals are supposed to be used after consulting with a doctor. There are a few books on the market, which are written by people being experts in their fields, including the herbals’ side effects as well as their good effects. People can get required information from those books. And finally, people, after consulting with a doctor, can apply to variety kinds of methods of alternative medicine for almost all diseases.
