Traditional medicine is a dangerous hobby.

By diligently avoiding going to the doctor, many people begin to get carried away with the methods of treatment from the field of traditional medicine. At first and second glance, these methods seem to be effective, but in most cases they do not have a special therapeutic effect, they only instill confidence in the possibility of recovery. How not to "pierce" with traditional methods of treatment and not miss a real opportunity to cure the disease?

Traditional medicine got its name because all its methods were collected at the household level by multiple observation of the results of the application of one or another folk recipe.

Folk recipes are methods of chemical and physical effects on the body of a living being with improvised means (household accessories, plant resources), which from time immemorial have been collected as the results of experiments or observations of the body's response to such influences. In the case of positive or neutral (harmless) reactions, the resources and methods of their application were memorized or recorded, in cases of unsuccessful use, they were swept aside. Rarely did it occur to anyone at the household level to conduct a scientific substantiation of the positive result they saw, and of course, it did not occur to anyone at all to analyze the local chemical and physical effect of, say, the cabbage leaf on a global scale, that is, on all systems of the body as a whole.

All recipes of traditional medicine come from very distant times, when chemistry, physics and biology did not pick up the pace of their development. The patterns of healing by using folk methods do not have statistics of recovery, since people at that time did not live long. Modern sciences (including medicine) direct their research towards finding means to lengthen the life of a person (or animal), which means that folk recipes that are not substantiated in terms of increasing the life of a living being cannot be flawless medical methods, in other words, traditional medicine is not responsible for the life of a person as a whole.

There are many recipes for traditional medicine, confirmed and scientifically substantiated. But almost all of these recipes are methods of local influence on limited foci of the disease. And if the disease is large-scale (it involves many organs and their systems in pathology), traditional methods of treatment will not help to resist the disease, but, on the contrary, can lead the nature of its course to chronic and incurable.

You should not place high hopes on traditional methods of healing, because they may turn out to be ineffective, and time plays an important role in the treatment of the disease: the time of the onset of the disease and the time of the transition of the disease through the point of no return to health.
