A variety of herbal or natural remedies are used as the primary treatment for the disease. Not only that, but these alternative or herbal products are also popular in the western world as 'over the counter medicine'. Twenty-five percent of people in the United States regularly use them for various physical problems.

The use of herbal or herbal natural ingredients in medicine is not today. Many natural ingredients have been used in medicine since ancient times. We all know that malaria medicine is made from quinine bark. The painkiller morphine is made from opium or opium. Heart medicine digitalis or aspirin also comes from a kind of plant. But there are some differences between medicines and such herbal products. A drug, regardless of its source, is approved only after passing various stages of scientific testing. There are specific dosages, side effects labels and instructions on how to use it in any disease. No one has the authority to take that medicine without a doctor's prescription.

On the other hand, these are not so thoroughly judged by herbal or herbal ingredients. Considering that they are not harmful to public use, the FDA allows them to be sold in the market. It does not require a prescription. But how effective it is in curing a disease cannot be said with certainty. Usually these are not used for the purpose of curing or treating the disease, but are used as a remedy, comfort and supplement.

Let's find out about some of the most widely used herbal products.

Many people use herbal or natural remedies as the primary treatment for the disease

Herbal cough syrup

Various types of herbal cough syrups are made with honey, bask leaves, basil juice etc. Apparently they do not have any harmful aspects. Because, the cure for sweet cough is also scientifically recognized. Honey, honey-lemon tea, basil leaf juice, basil tea etc. have been used to relieve cough since ancient times. But know that these are only for relief, not for cure. It will not cure diseases such as cough, respiratory infections, infections, pneumonia, tuberculosis, heart disease, etc. However, cough symptoms will be reduced. Therefore, the cause of the cough should be diagnosed and treated. These can be used to get comfort as well. But the treatment of the real disease should not be disrupted. In other words, the extra sugar in the syrup may not be suitable for diabetics.

All this

It is also available as a powder packet or often as a syrup. Many people use it to relieve constipation. This is nothing new. Patients are advised to eat fiber to relieve constipation. There is this fiber in all of them. In that sense it is beneficial. However, some syrups or lactulose that soften the stool should not be used for a long time. And there are some complex diseases behind constipation, such as piles, hypothyroidism, and even colon cancer. If you eat them day after day, the real diagnosis may be delayed.

Cranberry

Cranberry

The role of cranberries in preventing urinary tract infections in women is scientifically recognized. Cranberry juice, cranberry pills, and even dried cranberry fruit are available at various super shops or drug stores. It is thought that the chemical component of cranberries builds up a defense against germs in the bladder. It also makes salicylic acid, which does not cause inflammation. Those who have recurrent infections, such as older women are told to eat cranberries. However, the juice may contain excess sugar. Heart medications can have side effects with warfarin and aspirin. Excessive consumption of oxalate can increase the risk of kidney stones.

Omega-3 pills

Omega-3 is a type of fatty acid that increases the beneficial fat HDL. The American Heart Association recommends eating omega-3 oily fish at least 2 days a week for regular omega-3 intake. This omega-3 is especially found in marine fish. Apart from this, many people also take omega-3 capsules. In this regard, the Heart Association said, talk to your doctor about how much extra you will take. Consumption of more than 3 grams of fish oil daily can increase the risk of indigestion, diarrhea, vomiting, bad breath and bleeding.

Glucosamine

Many people take herbal pills called glucosamine to reduce knee pain or arthritis. But it is not calcium or vitamin D. It contains a type of cartilage derived from shellfish or snails. Although claimed to reduce pain, scientific research has not yet found much benefit. In addition, it can cause gastric, indigestion, headaches and allergies.

Medications for nerves and memory

Ginseng and Ginkgo biloba are basically Chinese herbal ingredients, which have been used to prevent neuritis, improve memory, stroke or brain disease. However, in various trials or studies, there is no evidence of their usefulness. Rather, because Ginkgo biloba has a tendency to dilute the blood, it may increase the risk of bleeding as a side effect with drugs such as aspirin, clopidogrel, heparin, etc.

Evening primrose

Evening primrose

To reduce breast pain, evening primrose oil or pills are given to many to reduce hot flush after menopause. This oil contains high levels of gamma linoleic acid (GLA), which is converted into prostaglandin-E-2 by the body. It is a type of hormone that has an effect on the breasts and uterus. Although there is controversy about its effectiveness, there is no harm in taking it for 6 consecutive months. However, pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should not eat. Patients with epilepsy, schizophrenia are also contraindicated.

As appealing because the notion of natural remedies is for a few, however, not all such remedies are safe or effective. In fact, some herbal and vitamin supplements don’t even need to meet safety standards required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Because herbal supplements contain plants, the FDA considers them to be food. As a result, the manufacturers who produce these products aren’t required to perform clinical trials or follow the manufacturing and labeling laws required for prescription and over-the-counter drugs. What’s more, a number of these remedies may interact with over-the-counter or prescription medications. That's why experts recommend talking with a doctor before trying a natural remedy.
