Plants are an alternative to modern medicine

Egyptian and Chinese people have been used plants as a remedy for many diseases for many years ago. I think plants are a good alternative to modern medicine because of three reasons. First reason, plants contain natural ingredients instead of the chemical ingredients that are in the modern medicine. When we use plants as a medicine it is less dangerous than modern medicine. The modern medicine may contain fake supplements for marketing reasons. Also, modern medicine contains artificial ingredients to enhance the flavor of the medicine. Second reason plants have fewer side effects than modern medicine. For example, when we mix two plants together it may cause nausea or vomiting but in modern medicine it may effect the body mentally (anxiety and depression) or physical effective (high blood pressure, renal infections, or high liver function enzymes). In some cases overdose with plants may cause diarrhea, but in modern medicine it may cause death. We can treat the plants side effects by stop taking it, in modern medicine we can treat it by taking other medicine. The final reason is the cheapness of the plants. Poor people can buy it without worrying about spending a lot of money on it. Also, people can grow some plants in their home. And, to grow these plants is easy; it doesn’t need a lot or expensive equipment. In conclusion, people must have in mind the right way to use plants as a remedy and have full information about it because it depends on the gender, age, dose, allergy, and kind of the disease.
