Natural medicine vs Modern medicine.

Since ancient times, people have been treating their diseases and pains in several ways and with different products. For many time they have used plants, flowers, oils, and medicinal trees to cure conditions, such as pains, stomach indigestions and wounds. The scientific advances and the necessity of new and fast solutions for diseases nowadays has caused the development of modern medicine. On the other hand, the use of natural medicine is no longer as popular, but it is still very important for doctors and patients all around the world. Although these methods are useful they are also very different.

One big difference between modern and natural medicine is how they are made. Modern medicine bases its products on combinations of substances developed by pharmaceutical industries using the most recent technology and knowledge acquired by scientists. Some examples are pills and shots used to treat any kind of pain or infection. Also procedures such as ultrasound, radiation, and radiography are part of the modern technology and they are used with patients who have cancer, terminal diseases or any disease that needs their use. On the other hand, natural medicine uses more natural products with almost no special complexity. Its products are made by mixing natural elements, such as plants, flowers, oils, honey and sometimes stones.  They use antique techniques learned from generations to generation such as acupuncture, aromatherapy, and homeopathy. In these procedures they also use natural elements like seeds, aromatic plants and stones.

Also, the effectiveness time differs in both types of medicines. Modern medicine responds to the necessity of immediate solutions to many diseases and emergency procedures. Diseases such as HIV, renal failure, and asthma need quick attention, or as a result, people could die in a few days without modern medicine; on the other hand, natural medicine does not offer an immediate solution for the treatment of diseases. However, ailments such as stress, digestive, and skin problems are better treated with natural than with chemical-based  products because in this case pharmaceutical medicine will aggravate the condition of patients affecting their overall health.

 In some ways, modern medicine offers advantages and disadvantages because the overuse of it affects the general well-being of people, causing immunodeficiency, resistance to antibiotics, and the reappearance of new diseases in the future. In contrast to modern medicine, the natural type uses products less aggressive on the body and helps people to avoid future health issues. Both types of medicine are useful nowadays. Each one is important depending on the situation. Many alternatives have been developed to improve people’s health. Sometimes doctors require a fast solution to save the lives of people. Then the modern medicine is the protagonist, but in other cases, people need a less aggressive option. Then the natural medicine becomes the best choice.
