FEAR IN HERBAL DRUGS:


                                             Today I came across one of the article which said that WHOLE PLANT EXTRACT ARTEMESIN IS BETTER IN PREVENTING RESISTANCE AND IMPROVES OUTCOME IN MALARIA PATIENT. My doubt over here arises how can we say that it is the artemisin in the whole plant which caused this effect??? it could be some other active compound in the extract which could have done the magic.

Though above mentioned case is a positive example whatever it is there are negative side of it too.

                                         What happens with herbal medication is that the disease might be cured but at the same time there are some million of other compound which could have different effect in the varying sites of the body.

MOST OF THE HERBAL MEDICATION ARE NOT WELL STUDIED AND RESEARCHED TOO...

YES THERE MIGHT BE POSITIVE IMPROVEMENT WITH THE HERBAL DRUG BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL HAVE TO KEEP YOUR LIVER AND KIDNEY AT STAKE!!!!!
