Talk
1) I think the best way to heal depends on the illness. For example, if it’s a flu it’s the best to
eat spicy things and use alternative medicine and vitamins but if it’s a serious bacterial
infection then conventional medicine is better.
2) Conventional medicine can work faster but it can cause side-effects in the future.
3) The best for health is rest, less stress and alternative medicine usually treats the root of
the illness and boosts the immune system. Medicine is not enough, rest, healthy exercise,
food, regular drinking is important, too.
4) Conventional medicine has many side-effects and sometimes causes addiction. There are
many types of alternative medicine but sometimes they are not enough or just a placebo.
Resting is important but healthy exercise is also good against stress.
5) There are conventional medicines for stronger allergic reactions, I think homeopathy is
good for mild allergies.
