Prescription Drugs VS Natural Remedies

Natural remedies are becoming quite popular. There are still many people who would rather consume prescription drugs instead of natural herbal remedies. This article is designed to help educate and enlighten everyone to the difference between these two forms of medical treatments. We will be learning what each remedy, be it prescription or natural, holds and how it affects the human body. I am writing this because there are still people who are ignorant to the elements, how they impact our health and cure our ailments.

Prescription Drugs VS Natural Remedies: Prescription Drugs

Prescription drugs are any supplement that contains chemicals or unnatural substances which alters our brain chemistry, hormones, or mentality. There are some prescriptions that work because the drugs involved fool our brain into thinking the opposite of what we are experiencing. The point of this is to trick our brain into not sending communication to our nerves-this allows us to think that everything is fine when it may not be. When all else fails this is usually the type of drug we are prescribed when the doctors do not know what to do.

Prescription drugs most often contain chemicals and hormones. To break down the effects on the body and how dangerous it can be, the following can help you better understand:

1) Chemicals will fluctuate the actual chemical balance in the brain. This will often subside your symptoms but will rarely fix the problem. Why? Because the chemical fluctuation blinds your body regarding the symptoms themselves, making you think the problem is being fixed.

2) When you take prescriptions drugs for mental issues (i.e. depression, anxiety, phobias, aggression) it actually creates a dependency on these drugs. Once you stop taking the drug, your brain will experience mental distress and become confused as it will no longer understand its purpose. Why does this occur? Because your brain has specific levels already designed. Because of your certain genetic makeup, uniqueness and personality, your brain facilitates to your individuality. If you alter the chemistry your brain will no longer understand its job, because the prescription drug has taken over. If you decide to stop you will most likely experience a severe adverse reaction. Your mind will no longer be happy or healthy and will begin to experience such a massive depression because of the confusion that can lead to mental and emotional breakdowns, and in some cases suicide.

Prescription drugs that are hormonally based require a synthetic hormone in the drug. For problems with hormonal deficiencies such as infertility, sexual problems, and emotional issues the synthetic hormones involved usually come from animals (such as horses) which is very unnatural for our bodies to experience. Because animal hormones are not natural to our body it can cause cancers, tumors, and so much more because of this foreign element.

Prescription Drugs VS Natural Remedies: Natural Remedies

Natural and herbal remedies are derived from living plant life. If you every have taken a vitamin supplement you might have noticed the taste just before swallowing, it tastes like ground plants, leaves etc, that is because it is. There are no chemicals involved.

Natural herbal remedies do not alter hormone balance, change chemical levels in the brain or trick your body. Why? Because the herbs contain certain properties that are meant to regulate functions the body to promote healing and health. They are not synthetic or man made, they are simply from the earth and are here to help with problems that we face.

Herbal supplements are a healthy alternative to prescription drugs. People have been using herbs and plants as medicine since the dawn of time. Prescription drugs are a fairly new concept in terms of the last century. Issues of infertility, emotional disorders, organ trouble, brain function, pain, arthritis, among countless others have all been experienced since creation. These health issues are not new. For thousands of years these problems have been fixed and cured by natural remedies.

Prescription Drugs VS Natural Remedies: In closing

To pretend as though natural remedies are insignificant and do mot work is preposterous. A person who believes this is severely ignorant and should consider becoming a little more educated. During the last hundred years scientist have tried to duplicate natural remedies by way of chemical and hormonal elements. The basis for their studies all began with herbal remedies and how they worked. But instead of using the essence (natural elements) in the medicinal herbs and plants they began creating synthetic elements.

The whole aspect of prescription drugs and natural remedies is very convoluted in terms that some people may not understand. I hope this article has been of some help breaking it down into a guide that most can comprehend. Granted, some of you may still end up scratching your heads after finishing this piece but the truth is, I don't think can get any simpler than this.
