There is no doubt that many people are getting sick often nowadays. It has become evident that in the world there are a lot of new diseases because of modern lifestyle, but in the same time modern medicine cannot decide some illnesses, thus some individuals use alternative medicine. Personally, I partially agree with this statement.
On the one hand, there are many positive aspects of modern medicine. Only Western medicine can solve serious medical condition. For instance, only proper treatment in medical organizations can cope with any type of cancer. Allopathic medicine is more effective its shows result quickly. If you have a headache, you can take a painkiller and it goes away after an hour.
On the other hand, traditional medicine is also good way to cure some illnesses. Herbal medicine is safer, in most cases it has no side effects. In such medicine you do not take pills and do not spoil the body with them, if you have a headache you can do acupuncture or massage. When treated with folk medicine the effect lasts longer and the result is better. If you have anxiety, you can do meditation or yoga, it will take time, but in the long run you will be able to cope without taking antidepressants.
All things considered, it is a thought-provoking question whether it is better for individuals to use Western medicine or alternative medicine. Whereas modern medicine is better with serious problems and more effective, if we look at traditional medicine it is safer and has a long-term effect.
