Traditional medicine deals with how people of old used herbs and the likes to take care of themselves and it was observed that they lived longer than we do today.
They did not consume much of chemicals like we consume today and their kind of treatment was purely natural and did not have any form of our modern day treatment.
Despite how relevant it was to them at that time, it had a lot of disadvantages that they did not notice then and it caused a lot of harm to them since they were only using trial and error method to carry-out their treatments.
One example of how their form of treatment wasn't reliable was the fact that they were not using qualitative analysis to determine how much of a chemical gotten from a plant should be used in treatment.
In our modern world today, there are still people who adhere to those traditional means of treatment, and they only go to hospitals when the sickness is becoming difficult to handle. This makes traditional medicine a threat to health in our modern world.
Do you think proper measures should be put in place to eradicate traditional medicine since the world has advanced from when they were relevant?
