RE: Plants vs. Pharmaceuticals

in #science6 years ago

There is a huge debate between herbal and modern medicine in my place too. Most of the arguments are centred on the side effects than the costs though. As someone who was under medication for a few years, I know side effects can be intolerable at times. Still better than poisoning yourself with the miracle herb growing on rooftiles I think :)

Pumpernickel please ;)

Am I the only person who thinks Atropa belladonna sounds kinda cool?

Sort:  

Bella donna means beautiful woman, as women used eyedrops made from this plant to increase their pupil size

I know that, I pay attention in pharma class y'know...at times ;)
