Herbal and non-conventional medicines

Herbal and non-traditional medicines are gaining popularity worldwide as more and more people seek alternative treatments. These medicines are often based on traditional healing methods and natural ingredients such as plant extracts, herbs and minerals.

A major advantage of these medicines is their often lower number of side effects compared to synthetic medicines. Many people also favour them because of their supposedly gentler mode of action and their holistic approach to health and well-being.

Nevertheless, it is important to emphasise that herbal and non-herbal medicines are not suitable for everyone and that their effectiveness is not always clearly scientifically proven. It is advisable to consult a doctor or qualified healthcare provider before using such medicines, especially if they are to be taken in combination with other medicines.

Overall, herbal and non-conventional medicines offer an interesting alternative to conventional medicine and can be an effective supplement or alternative for some people. However, they should always be used with caution and under expert guidance to minimise potential risks and achieve optimal results.
