Medicinal Plants (Herbal) for Treatment



There are several reasons why people tend to return to the traditional medicinal herbs:

1. Weaknesses of modern medicine / medicinal chemistry

*Side effects directly or accumulate, this happens because modern medicine made from pure chemicals are either single or mixed. The chemicals are not organic and pure, so be sharp and reactive (easily react) while our bodies are organic and complex, so that the chemical is not a material that is really suitable for the body. The use of chemicals to the body had to do with the various restrictions and the level can still be accepted or tolerated by the body.

* Often less effective for certain diseases, this can we see a lot of diseases not yet found a cure, so the drugs are being used more is symptomatic and used continuously according to symptoms. Some diseases have not even known why. Patients often must be repeated to a clinic and not much progress or even worsening the situation.

2. Excess presence of Medicinal Plants

* The side effects are not present if use correctly, it is given the complex nature of medicinal plants and organic body that is suitable for complex and organic, so the herbs can be compared to food, an ingredient that is consumed in order to reconstruct the damaged organ or system.

* Effective for disease refractory to chemical drugs, such as cancer, tumors, high blood pressure, low blood, diabetes, hepatitis, stroke, sinusitis, herpes, body odor, boils and others.

* Prices are relatively cheap, because it can be planted alone, the price will increase if obtained in dry form, and will increase again if obtained in the form of processed products. Prices will be very expensive if the isolates obtained in the form of certain compounds derived from plant extracts, such as vincristine, a cancer drug isolated from the extract of virgin tread (Catharanthus roseus) and imported.

* No need medical help, If the diagnosis is unclear, treatment can generally be carried out by members of their families without having to depend on the medical or paramedical assistance. Doctors needed for the correct diagnosis with the aid of clinical laboratory analysis (also herbal treatment recommendations can be given by a physician).

3. Medicinal plants as alternative medicine

Based on the above considerations, the medicinal plants have been accepted as an alternative medicine and even officially recommended for use by practitioners in the health world, even the Minister of Health issued an appeal for doctors to use drugs in the form of traditional medicine native Indonesian medicinal plants. Pharmaceutical companies which had been a drug manufacturer has been producing chemical raw material drug with medicinal plants with traditional recipes. Awareness of this reality, the use of medicinal plants began to be accepted back by society as an alternative medicine and the way health care is natural and safe.

Understanding alternative medicine:

* Patients with certain diseases that attack is still in its early stages may choose to use medication with medicinal plants in order to prevent the progression of the disease and relieve symptoms.

* Patients with serious illnesses can choose treatment using medicinal plants in order to avoid the side effects of drugs and chemicals with a cheaper price.

* Patients who have severe disease and had to face a drastic medical measures such as surgery, amputation or radioactive radiation can choose to use medication with medicinal plants in order to avoid such drastic medical measures.

* Patients with the disease that the doctors could no longer be helped can still keep trying to heal yourself using herbs.
