i’ve been thinking about how people approach health when they’re feeling unwell. some folks prefer to go to a doctor or use pharmaceutical medicine from the pharmacy, while others choose herbal remedies or alternative treatments. personally, i prefer using herbal remedies because i believe that all the ingredients in pharmaceutical medicines ultimately come from nature, and we can find those remedies ourselves in plants. what about you?

edit: cmon guys it’s not about the traditional vs modern treatment. just wanna know other’s opinion about this…

    Isn’t that just basic knowledge of your own body? Like if I eat beans I’ll have a gaseous stool etc.

    I mean don’t we all drink some tea when the throat is sore? Avoid coffee if we have stomach problems and so on?

    I sure do take medication when I’m sick, but I also try to alleviate the suffering with ordinary things (“natural” if you want), like chocolate when I have the flu because it’s depressing or rice when I have a diarrhea.

    I feel OP are fishing for something else though like “modern medicine bad/big pharma bad” or am I wrong here?

      It is. And even chimps do it to a certain degree.
