Why Chinese Herbs Are Gaining in Popularity

By Andre Caxton 

These days modern medicine seems to be mainly used only to keep doctors employed and doing their job. It is certainly not always for the benefits that it has on the body, as more and more people continue to turn to “alternative medicines” in order to get better. The trouble is, chemical medications often have harmful side effects on the body and that is partly why many people do choose to switch to healthier treatments wherever possible. Another problem however, seems to be that people think pharmaceutical companies are exploiting everyday people during drug trials.

The Trouble with Conventional Drugs

Conventional medicines are mainly under fire because they are not guaranteed to cure us. In fact, more often than not, some kind of new side effect is often experienced, even years after a new drug has been introduced. It seems that while side effects of prescription drugs do seem to be a problem, doctors and pharmaceutical companies do seem to get let off quite easily. This is the view that many people take regarding conventional medicine and it is why many Western countries have started to convert to using healthier, alternative treatments.

One particularly good argument that alternative Chinese herb medications are just as good, if not better, than conventional medicine, is that they often contain Sildenafil Citrate. Now this ingredient is something that pharmaceutical companies did not discover until the 20th century, but it has been in Chinese herbs for centuries. It has a wide range of benefits for our health and it is one of the main reasons why Chinese herbs do help to cure certain conditions.

In fact, when Western scientists announced that it had found Sildenafil Citrate, the people in China were amused as they had known about it for a long time. It had even been used to treat men with impotence problems and traders had sold it widely for centuries. So, this just goes to show that pharmaceutical companies do not always know best.

It is possible for you to experience the benefits of using Chinese herbs. You can find specialist stores set up in your area, or you can also find them in health food stores. Check that the herb which you are purchasing contains Sildenafil Citrate and that way you will be sure that you are getting the best possible herb for you. You may also want to consult a herbalist in order to see that you are purchasing the right Chinese herb to suit your problem.
