Herbal Medicine

 

Herbal medicines have been used in oriental medicine for thousands of years to treat diseases and wounds. Grass roots, fruits, and bark are used as main medicinal products. There were some criticisms about the lack of scientific evidence for oriental medicine unlike the evidence based western medicine. However, in recent years, as research for the scientificization of oriental medicine has been active, the efficacy of oriental medicine has been gradually proven through a log of researches. Also, as the side effects of Western medicines are on the rise, many people have become more interested in natural healing. If non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)do not work for pain, strong pain relievers such as tramadol, ultraset, or pragablin are often prescribed. However, there are many cases where the side effects increase and the pain does not resolve. Since western medicine is a drug developed as a single ingredient with a sing target, it is often not resolved for symptoms that occur in complex structures such as chronic pain. On the other hand, it has been shown that various ingredients contained in herbal medicines have a complex route of action. It is also the reason why herbal medicines are effective in chronic diseases caused by various causes and mechanisms. Medicinal plants contain many phytochemicals such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins. It has been proven through scientific research. Anti-oxidant, anti-inflammation, immune system, cell metabolism, balance of autonomic nerve system, energy metabolism, and the hormonal balance are all the benefits you can get from herbal medicine.
