i’ve been thinking about how people approach health when they’re feeling unwell. some folks prefer to go to a doctor or use pharmaceutical medicine from the pharmacy, while others choose herbal remedies or alternative treatments. personally, i prefer using herbal remedies because i believe that all the ingredients in pharmaceutical medicines ultimately come from nature, and we can find those remedies ourselves in plants. what about you?

edit: cmon guys it’s not about the traditional vs modern treatment. just wanna know other’s opinion about this…

    Whats the downside of drinking some ginger tea instead of ‘suffering through it’ though? I think what OP was asking is if you would always prefer Paracetamol or similar readily available medicine.

      A mild headache is not even an inconvenience in my experience, so “suffer through it” is hyperbolic. As I said, they are most often caused by not drinking enough water, and drinking more water will usually resolve it anyway. If you want to drink tea instead of water, it’s basically the same results, but it’s the hydration that makes the difference.

      If it is more than a mild headache and actually bothering me, then I’ll go for a proper pain relief medication. I keep that on hand for that reason.

        Not all headaches are caused by dehydration, not even close.
