NATURAL MEDICINES AND THEIR BENEFITS: OPINION

(Edited)
Dear readers, as an agricultural production engineer from the agroecological perspective, I consider that natural medicine is based on medicines whose active ingredient, so to speak, come from plants, but whose processing is based on traditional methods, without altering their chemical composition. This type of medicine has become very popular nowadays, mainly because it can be very economical and satisfactory effects have been observed when it has been tested to control some pathologies.

From my point of view, natural medicine is the main way to prevent and combat certain diseases, as long as the active components and the disease to be treated are well known. Although drugs have a more accelerated effect, natural medicine should not be discarded as a complement to effectively treat certain abnormalities of our body.

It is worth mentioning that there are many advantages and benefits about the consumption of natural medicines, since it has been observed how some specialists of natural medicine have provided treatments with natural medicines to treat for example asthma and colon, observing positive results, and thus stop relying on drugs that have high costs.

In this sense, Dr. Gracián Rondón, a surgeon graduated from the Universidad de Los Andes Venezuela, specialist in natural medicine, defines this technique as a Creole technology of tropical medicinal plants, and claims to have cured terminal diseases only by using medicinal herbs. In one of his interviews, Dr. Gracian states the following:

Medicine was made for the sick, nature does not make us sick, it protects us, it gives us life, we depend on it and with its rational use we have the possibility of maintaining the human species
Among the plants considered by Dr. Gracian as medicinal plants with high potential is chamomile, which can regulate digestive and nervous disorders in our body, we also find arnica, aloe vera, oregano and many others.

To conclude, it can be said that natural medicine seeks to improve diseases thanks to completely natural plants so that people can benefit from them, it is important that when each person wants to consume an herb should investigate what it is used for and what benefits it can have by consuming it, since it is necessary to know how it can help the body.

I would prefer using plants as medicine over using drugs, not because I'm scared of drugs but because it might have a negative effect in the long run especially if the body gets treated immediately with it after getting sick that might affect the immunity system after some time.

Nice read, thanks for sharing!
