i’ve been thinking about how people approach health when they’re feeling unwell. some folks prefer to go to a doctor or use pharmaceutical medicine from the pharmacy, while others choose herbal remedies or alternative treatments. personally, i prefer using herbal remedies because i believe that all the ingredients in pharmaceutical medicines ultimately come from nature, and we can find those remedies ourselves in plants. what about you?

edit: cmon guys it’s not about the traditional vs modern treatment. just wanna know other’s opinion about this…

      Your words were fine for most situations. Research to a layperson generally means you go and read up on a thing from authoritative sources. Research to a pharmaceutical scientist means you convince/pay a bunch of people to take pills that you or your colleagues have made, note how those people are affected, and possibly adjust your recipe.

      Similar to the word “theory”. To a layperson, it generally means an educated guess at why a thing is the way it is, but untested. To a scientist, an educated guess doesnt become a theory until it’s been tested over and over and over, making sure the results did not deviate from what was expected to happen.
