Herbs, by Fatma Taqi Grade 11

Do people these days still use herbs for their medical needs?
Not long ago, people used all kinds of medical herbs to treat themselves and stay healthy, given that they are organic and natural, and easily picked up from plants, trees and flowers. These days, however, many people tend to prefer technology over nature, but herbs, like everything, has its ups and downs.

Herbs are natural, organic medicine, therefore have less side effects on our body than chemical medicine. Local herbs are very easy to find and prepare, and their prices are very low compared to chemical medicines we use nowadays.

Other herbs, however, can be very hard to find and get, given that they may be unknown locally, and expensive to buy from other countries. They are generally less effective and take longer time to work than normal medicine. Awareness can play a part in this, because many people don't know which herbs to use and how to efficiently use them, so  many herbs and mixes can end up unsuitable for many conditions, and lead to other consequences.

Even though herbs aren't very popular these days, some people still use them. They try herbs and then go to doctors and hospitals if they didn't work properly.
