Herbal medicine: Why is it considered alternative medicine? Are not herbs woven into drugs sold by the pharmaceutical industry. If so, should these drugs -- these herbs -- be considered part of mainstream medicine?
Doctors are not quick to prescribe herbs. They order the pills polished by the pharmaceutical companies, but seldom touch the herb. Those same pills might contain components extracted from herbs, but the doctor is not so quick to prescribe the natural medicine.
I wonder if our doctors should not study the natural medicines more, and know their benefits and properties, and be willing to prescribe them, when they will benefit. Who knows, such practice might help reduce the high price of medicine.
