Contest alert//Say goodbye to medications
Hello my dear Steemians,
Today I wanted to write for this contest that is running by @khursheedanwar, here is the link if you are also interested:
When we compare our time and few decades ago it became normal to have a little pharmacy box at home, almost everyone has Paracetamol or Ibuprofen because we all had some pain on few occasions. These two medication are also very good for fever, often when it is winter and we have cold but still need to get some stuff done these medicines are our rescue that give us few hours time to be normal.
For some medicines that we take as normal we stopped paying attention to their side effects and our children learn it too to use those medicines on their early childhood age. There are not many know that for example Ibuprofen can be toxic for kidneys especially if a person already had some degree of kidney disease. The same can happen with Paracetamol, that if we take too much of it we can develop liver damage.
When we think about the past no matter in what country but people searched for the remedy in natural products. Understandably herbs and mushrooms were first available and the people who lived in forests learnt their benefits for the health. A lot was then captured in books and later on such healers taught their students and so passed the knowledge from one generation to other.
I think the best is to avoid taking medicine for minor thing and often we need to let our body to recover itself with a little bit of help like water that helps us hydrating. Our brain needs energy and that is glucose, but often we do not want to eat in that case people do not forget to drink maybe some juice or fruits.
The other important thing is sleep that also activates inner strength, while we sleep our immune system does its job using all protective mechanism of our body one of it is Temperature, our temperature goes up. Although we all think that we have to bring it down but high temperature is helpful to kill bacteria and viruses. That is why often we hear if someone has a viral infection, the healing will take 7 days with treatment or without treatment.
