Are Natural Allergy Cures Safe?
Well the name of this site would seem to say I am pro natural allergy cures and against drug companies, the truth is I believe in both. I think both should be used with the help of a trained professional. Modern medicine and natural cures can live in harmony and limiting yourself to the use of one or the other seems rather silly. Everyone knows about the draw backs to modern drugs as we here about them every time a drug is pulled off the market, but I want to take the time to write about a few of the problems with natural allergy cures and the natural health industry.
Problems With Herbal Supplements
The first is the problem with regulation and standards that herbal products lack. Most countries far very little government over sight of companies that sell and market herbal products. This can lead to difference in quality and potency between brands. Given the option it may be better to spend a little more on a higher quality herbal product.
Self Diagnosis
The biggest problem I see with herbal supplements is self diagnosis. Many diseases have similar symptoms and require a trained medical professionals attention, not just a Internet search of your symptoms. Its easy for a person to misdiagnose his own illness thus treating it with the wrong herbal supplements.
Ignoring Symptoms
Even worse what if your symptoms are the early stages of a very serious illness. Maybe your purchase of herbal supplements work to help relieve these early symptoms and you put off medical treatment while the serious illness continues to progress. Symptoms especially those on the skin are often the bodies early warning system telling you to seek medical help and ignoring this warning could have serious consequences.
Do not hide the fact that you are taking herbal remedies from your doctor as they may not react well with drugs that he may prescribe for you. Most doctors these days are more open minded about alternative treatments and some even recommend them at times. Herbal supplements are terrific but treat them with the same respect as a drug.
