Have you considered homeopathy as a viable alternative?
In Western society, citizens so readily reach for their synthetic, mystery pills that they don't even think about the potential consequences such chemicals could have on their long-term health. Countless users of such remedies have already discovered negative health results, but these are often swept under the rug by pharmaceutical companies anxious to make the big bucks.
Before these companies existed, people often looked to nature for relief. The world is blanketed with beneficial plants, animals, and substances which have enormous effects on our bodies.
Before we go further, it would be beneficial to explore the term homeopathy. While many believe that the term refers to any natural, herbal-based supplement, this term is actually very specific to one type of medicinal preparation. A homeopathic is characteristically defined as containing substances that potentially inflict the type of malady that they are to cure. For example, a homeopathic remedy that could offer allergy relief may contain traces of pollen, which in larger amounts would actually cause the allergic reaction. Basically, it is a principle of "like cures like." The second characteristic of all homeopathic remedies is that they are serial diluted, which means they are heavily diluted in another substance and shaken thoroughly to mix the substances. This is believed to increase the effectiveness of the remedy. This dilution is so extensive, in fact, that there are very likely no active molecules left of the original substance. This fact is the dissenting scientific community's Exhibit A on why homeopathy is an ineffective solution.
While there may be difficulty in explaining homeopathy's effectiveness, its users will have no difficulty in attesting to the wonderous effects such remedies have had on their ailments. It is likely that the effectiveness of homeopathy is not static in every human being (just as aspirin works for some better than it does for others), but one thing is certain: homeopathy is one of the safest and most natural methods for treating maladies. Give it a try for yourself, and you may be surprised by the results!
