It is bad enough that we are already surrounded by all kinds of external factors, that might be harmful to our health. Whats even worse, that every time when we feel something is going wrong, we go straight to the doctor, then to the nearest pharmacy, filling our immune system with chemical pills, just to get rid of the problem quickly, without considering that there might be other more natural alternatives out there, which are more reliable, more cheaper, they dont have any side effects in time, they dont cause addiction and they have been used for all kinds of affections from thousands of years.
