Herbal Remedies VS Pharmaceutical Drugs

Medicinal Herbs are widely used in countries such as China, Europe, and Africa. In the US, however, the demand for medicinal herbs has caused a lot of debate in terms of legislation, investments, as well as research funds. Although it is quite thrilling to know that the United States has paid attention to the demand increase, their motivation is still money. Those who reside in the US actually want results and facts fast and immediately. Clinical tests are often expensive and they take time. Most of the investors are not experts in the field, medical practitioners, or doctors even. They are mostly made up of corporations that want to have more money. There have been rumors of pharmaceutical companies coming under scrutiny these past few years because of marketing priorities and practices that put pressure to get the best results.

Medicinal herbs are not usually cut and dry just like nature. The side effects and dosing are not globally defined which means investors are not likely to put their money on them yet. Too little of the herbs may provide minimal healing or none at all while using too much herbs or a combination of pharmaceutical drugs and herbs can do more harm than good. This proves to be an obstacle for the FDA to mass market medicinal herbs.

This is one of the reasons why many of those that sell herbs often inform their customers that their products haven’t been evaluated by the FDA and are not to be substituted for medical advice.

Fortunately, the country is home to people who can think freely and rich in tradition. Recipes have been passed down through generations while the internet adds more information that can help you decide properly. Instead of going on and on about pharmaceutical medications versus medicinal herbs, it is best to focus on what you are putting in your body and your DNA.

Do people actually watch commercials about “new” drugs that can deal with all the aches and pains that they are feeling and actually go out and buy one? Once they list the side effects caused by their “new drug” having skimpy eyelashes or even small joint pain are nothing compared to cardiac arrest, bloody stools, and so on.

This doesn’t mean that all pharmaceutical medications are harmful. Actually, pharmaceutical drugs can be needed at times. However, manufacturing these medications are actually polluting the earth’s bodies of water.

Keep in mind that there is balance in plants just like with everything else. There are numerous pharmaceutical drugs that use certain herbs as their ingredients. In doing so, the plant’s natural balance is no longer present thus people suffer from constipation, bloating, and such.
