– How did Homeopathy/herbal remedies/natural medicines come to be? And, are they a viable alternative to traditional medication?

Question

I’ve always been sceptical and have seen this broadly advertised across Asia/developing countries. Would genuinely want to try and understand before dismissing. Thanks!

Answer 1

Herbal/natural are the basis of all medicines for thousands of years. Now we have a medical industry that worth trillions and when they find a herbal/natural remedy, they commercialise it and then it becomes “medicine”.

Doesn’t mean all or even many of the herbal/naturals work or work better than a medicine, but unless it can be commercialise and sold, then you won’t hear anything good about it.
