Nowadays, an increasing number of people with health problems are using alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their normal doctor.
Do you think this is a positive or negative development? -

In today’s world, huge number of people suffering from health issues is taking medications on their own without consulting a general physician. I strongly believe that this sort of practice is a negative trait as it can lead to serious complications to body.
Firstly, in my opinion taking medication without considering doctor’s opinion can lead to some hazardous effect to the health. For instance, people who are educated and do lot of research on social platforms take antibiotics by themselves for viral infections without taking consultations from physician and as a side effect get like loss of appetite, nausea and headaches. However, if they have considered an appropriate medication through a proper channel, they would have minimized these complications.
Secondly, I believe these sort of practices can be dangerous in a longer run, as medical practitioners comes with good amount of knowledge of their profession and have lot of experience in their field. They know the issues with their client’s health and prescribe medicines based on their vitals. For example, at the time of COVID people who were diabetic or having blood pressure were given different medicines by doctors so that there vitals doesn’t shoot up which can lead to organ failure or severe damage to the body.
At last I would like to conclude by saying that some knowledge is always dangerous. Even Though, with the time people are becoming smart and have all the access to knowledge through social media still they lack experience in medical field. These doctors of medicine have experience and have studied medicines for many years, so there consultation has some worth which is always beneficial in a longer run. They do their work diligently and make sure the infected person get less side effects from the prescribed medicines.

In today’s era, considering that modern medicine has become increasingly expensive and hard to retain for longer duration’s, people have started looking towards alternative medicines and treatments. While I believe it’s a positive development its not without its risks.
Firstly, its increasingly getting clear that modern branded medicine is getting expensive on daily basis alongside its increasing price it also has few side effects if consumed for longer periods. Considering these factors, attention towards alternative treatments and medicinal therapies like yoga is a natural move. Following through on such treatments can often lead to a better, healthier lives while getting rid of addiction to modern medicine. We can also observe that few big companies are looking to selling more medicine often at the expense of the patient which becomes more so reason for the same trend.
Although such treatments are getting more advanced there also are quite a few risks involved, example in case the alternate medicinal treatments not being taken from doctor’s advice and taken without any diagnostics. Also, we need to verify the sources of such treatments as being valid and not taken without any prescription. Considering these factors, we can also gain an understanding that alternative medicine needs more research in order to become more viable.
In conclusion, I gather a positive trend being developed for moving towards alternative medicine and treatments considering all the downsides and the profit-making culture of big pharma companies and the connected ecosystem. Although it’s a positive move, we as consumers of alternative medicine need to be more informative and knowledgeable about such treatments and should not consider them without proper consultation.
