Every medicine has it's own purpose

Health is important for everyone, and everyone wants to be happy and healthy all the time, but unfortunately, it is impossible for a person to stay healthy all the time. Sometimes, somehow, the immune system fails to protect us, and we become sick, and it's not so surprising, in my opinion. We can overcome our illness sometimes just because of our immune system, but that's not the case. Sometimes we need the help of substances as well as medicines.

When it comes to medicine, there are two options at present: the first one is artificial modern medicine made by advanced technology, and the other one is traditional medicine. I heard some people debating about which medicine was best a few days ago. Some people think that traditional medicine is the best, and others think that modern medicine is the best, and both kinds of people have their own thoughts and logic to support it. But which one actually is the best? Are you curious to know my thoughts related to the topic? In that case, I am going to share my thoughts.

Traditional medicine was popular in the early days, especially when modern medicine had not invented. Even after the arrival of modern advanced medicine, traditional medicine is quite popular because it has almost no side effects. If medicine can work without any side effects, it naturally deserves the position, if any, in this modern world. I think that aside from effectiveness, no side effects is the main reason why many people are still interested in traditional medicine. Again, based on my observation, traditional medicine is not as costly as modern medicine, and that means that it's cost-effective and low risk. If traditional medicine can be used properly, it will surely be a good thing, and the success rate will increase rapidly.

On the other hand, modern medicine is quite advanced compared to traditional medicine, and most of modern medicine can work based on the need. The effect of modern medicine is quite fast, and for the fastest success rate, it can be applied for sure. When we need fast results, modern medicine is the best option. For critical illness, modern medicine is the only option because, in most cases, traditional medicine is not, so we have not found a way to use traditional medicine more effectively for critical illness. The reason can be not enough research on traditional medicine. I am not so sure about it. But there is a disadvantage I need to come to terms with regarding advanced or modern medicine. And it's the side effect.

Researchers always try their best to reduce the side effects of modern medicine and cure illnesses, but most of the medicine has side effects. So it's somehow at a disadvantage, but overall output about effectiveness is still positive, and that's why people still prefer to take modern medicine instead of its side effects. In case of which one is best, I think there is no exact answer to it. I just believe that for normal illness, traditional medicine is quite good, but in the case of critical illness, modern medicine is the only option for us.
