Comparing Natural Alternatives To Prescription Drugs

By Elaine Guthrie


The field of science has not been left behind in the current wake of modern technology; they have also come up with their own forms of modern medication and equipment. Modern medication also comes up with its own set of challenges and setbacks. It has been a blessing in disguise for some while to others it has been a total mess. In relation to these we compare natural alternatives to prescription drugs.

Natural alternatives as compared to prescribed drugs have the upper hand when it comes to side effects. They are known to have no or very minimal side effects as compared to prescribed medication. This is because other prescriptions are fully absorbed by the body because they usually are composed of all organic materials but prescription drug although they have been extracted from organic substance they contain additives which are not part of nature thus causing the side effects.

On a penny for penny comparison alternatives seem to always be cheaper than prescribed medication.An example is the use of exercise to cure depression as compared to using anti-depressant tablets to cure it. The cost of buying the tablets may be not so high but the cost of exercising is free since even a walk is exercise thus the two costs cannot be compared and the natural alternatives seems always cheaper.

Prescribed medication is specialized to treat very specific ailments, they are made to do very precise tasks and once their duty is done they are no more. This is not the case in these alternatives; this usually is because they are natural. Whenever they are taken in they not only carry out the prescribed task but also add other values to the body, like the beetroot plant its known to add more blood to the body but also helps in cleansing the blood something that if the prescribed medication had to do it would have to be a set of drugs.

A natural alternative to skin conditions like rashes is the aloe Vera plant. The prescribed drug would be a sulphur based treatment, on one hand aloe Vera does not only treat the rashes but it smoothens the skin and kills bacteria. If the sulphur based treatment would be used the rashes would heal in a burnt like manner since sulphur reacts with the skin in order to treat it thus leaving the burn like scars. This happens in sulphur cases unlike in the aloe Vera despite the fact that both methods heal.

Modern prescribed medication is given in exact quantities depending on the ailment and the state of the disease. Whenever the rule of quantity is not followed then it has effects. In cases where one does not take the prescribed amount there is a high chance of not being cured and in the event where one takes too much then there is the possibility of being overdosed and may be fatal. These extremes rarely occur in natural alternatives since its from nature.

Modern science is slowly accepting the use of natures remedies in its practice; this is seen currently by the use of the leach to suck up extra blood in an operation instead of the use of pumps.

Other alternatives are proving to be a source of refuge for most science practices since they have more merits than demerits; they tend to be more effective than some of the current methods.
