I Believe In Herbal Medicine

I don't like western medicine very much. it aims to earn money more than curing people. but traditional medicine which uses herbs and natural ingredients which has been existing for thousands of years truly care about the patients. most of western medicines don't cure the disease, it just remove the symptoms.

There are a lot of herbs/plant extracts etc that have made their way into 'standard' medicine over the years. Digitalis for example from the simple Foxglove. Considering the ancient knowledge lost in so many other areas of society it's no stretch to think that there may still be some uses in herbal medicine. As Stormy stated though, it's the lack of quality control that is the issue, so a lot of fraudulent medicine is out there, and it's that kind of thing that makes the news. No-one wants to hear about good things in the newspapers etc, they would rather read about fraud and failure...

Such is human nature!
