Points on a debate supporting the motion 'orthodox medicines are more potent than herbal medicines'
Answers
Explanation:
What debate? Orthodox medicine is more potent than herbal medicine. The problem with herbal medicine is it’s a clumsy, unregulated system, you have no real idea about the quality or quantity of active ingredients in herbal medicine, without proper testing you can not know. Herbal does not mean safe, also there could be pharmacological interactions between herbal and conventional medicine.
Herbal medicines are drugs, just as pharmaceuticals are drugs and as such they should be prescribed by a medically qualified, registered practitioner, you should also tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are taking herbal treatments alongside conventional medicine. You should steer clear of anything claiming to be "100% safe" or "safe because it's natural" The manufacturers are lying to you.
