Hi Santosh, Thank you very much for your input,I do agree with your views fully. When I talked about nature cures,I didnt mean formal packaged medication which is marketed today.I simply meant home remedies,and natural methods for curing minor ailments.Much as we dismiss grandma's tale,old wives tales,some of them do work.
Nothing can replace the advancement in science made by vaccines,surgeries etc.The benefits of medical research are tremendous: lives are saved,suffering is made bearable and life expectancy has certainly gone up.But we need to be cautious of the excessive and prolonged use of allopathic drugs. Granted that our forefathers did not have the scientific knowledge that we have today,but they did not have stress,hypertension and all the diseases of our generation.The air was much purer and there wasnt much pollution.People died because of lack of vaccines,lack of medical know-how,but did they have heart attacks in their thirties? There is a price to pay for progress.
