Traditional medicine, while often valued for its holistic approach, does have its drawbacks. One significant disadvantage is the time-consuming nature of its preparation. Many traditional remedies involve intricate processes that rely heavily on skilled practitioners and years of accumulated knowledge. This can make access to these treatments limited and potentially expensive. Another challenge is the relatively slow pace of healing. Traditional treatments often require prolonged exposure to achieve desired results, which may not be suitable for acute conditions. Additionally, traditional medicines can carry a higher risk of side effects, such as rashes, headaches, or fatigue. This is partly due to the lack of rigorous scientific research to optimize their efficacy and safety.
Actual audio transcript (What native speakers are likely to hear):

Another weaknesses of this type of treatment would be it takes a long time to take effect, you know, since the patients would need to expose to it for a large amount of time to recover completely. Uh, lastly, traditional medicines also have higher risk of side effects such as rashes, headaches or fatigue. Since there’s no scientific research into this type of treatment to improve its efficacy.
