Herbal Medicine or Modern Medicine?

Why do most people prefer herbal medicine? And so why many people hate the herbal remedies?

I think there is no mean to debate either using modern medicine or "ancient" medicine. It is better to learn how the medicine have efficacy and how they work to solve health problems. There is no point in arguing, and it is better to use time to do research on the benefits of medicines either traditional medicine and ancient medicine or modern medicine.

There are people who believe that traditional medicine could not prove their value in science. In my opinion, the statement is not true. There have been many herbal experts who examined scientifically the efficacy of herbal medicines

There is something unique to my thinking. Herbal medicine has been practiced for thousands of years. And practice for thousands of years is a scientific process whereby the selection processes of natural ingredients are beneficial to health. Our forefathers probably did not realize it. But naturally, humans could not pick things that would harm their self. Similarly for the herbal treatment, his method has been developed in such a way and it has the same opportunity to develop modern medicine.

And I think there is actually less precise terms of modern medicine and traditional medicine. The truth is a treatment that works and medicine that do not work.
