Natural is best.

Natural is the best. Blessed day to you all; thank you for stopping by my blog. The theme for this week says traditional or modern medication or both. Normally, natural is best; it's just that some people don't believe in it, or should I say they believe more in English medicine than the traditional. For me, I think both work, but I use more of the traditional than modern medication.

Let me share a little story about my life and the reason why I used more of the traditional medicine than the modern. When I got pregnant with my first son, my body started itching me, it was very severe especially after taking my bath. I could sometimes cry after taking my bath, because it was something uncontrollable, and this made me hate water during my first pregnancy. Well, the condition is called cholestasis of pregnancy. Apparently, I live in a rural area, even though I did my antenatal in a general hospital, but they still didn't understand what that is when I made a complained to the gynecologist. So after I delivered my baby, I started having pains in my stomach; anytime I eat pains it continued for about two months, so I went to the hospital to complain about how I was feeling.

When they checked me, they found out I had an enlarged liver, that was what was causing the pain in my stomach after eating, which was caused by the itching of the body during my pregnancy. I started treatment at the hospital, and to be honest, it wasn't working at all, so I switched to traditional medicine. I think I took that traditional medicine for two weeks only, and my liver was reversed to its normal size. Since that day, I stopped modern medication; whenever I feel sick, I only go to the hospital to check what is wrong with me, then come back home and treat it in a traditional way. This has been my routine for years now.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not condemning modern medicine, and I'm not saying I don't believe in it; all I am saying is, I prefer the traditional medicine because it works more and faster for me and you know most of the traditional medicine are natural plants, they don't just heal us some of them actually boast our immune system. Our parents used it then, and they lived healthier and longer. I used both, but I use more of traditional medicine than modern medicine. We all have our beliefs, I just go with what work best for you. Thank you for stopping by; see you next time.
